The suspect, identified as Emmanuel Okujo with Force Number 234533 three months after the incident showed up Monday evening at the Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, Lagos, with the kidnapped-victim, Patience Isanbor, who was discovered to be heavily pregnant for him.
During investigation, the trigger-happy policeman, attached to Ifako division, told detectives at the State Investigation Bureau, that he dropped his AK 47 riffle at a location, where he informed a colleague to get it from.
He denied abducting Patience, claiming that she was his girl- friend. He also, blamed his action on the handiwork of the devil, adding that it was an accidental discharge.
The mother-to-be Patience also affirmed that she followed the policeman willingly to his hideout, which none of them disclosed, saying, they only came out of hiding in order to clear her lover’s name in the kidnap saga. Investigation according to Police sources was still on-going.
However, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Joseph Jaiyeoba, who confirmed the arrest, described the incident as unfortunate. He said that Patience would not be left out as she would also be charged for conspiracy.
Meanwhile, the victim, is still at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, where sources said she is responding to treatment.
