The Ogun State Police Command has bursted members of a syndicate, who reportedly specialise in kidnapping of babies.
Some of the gang members, who were arrested and paraded by the command on Tuesday include Abibat Oyesanya, Morenike Shittu and Olubunmi Tajudeen.
It was gathered that the gang leader had been nabbed and sentenced for a similar offence in the past.
The Ogun state Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Ilyasu, said through intelligence gathering, the gang’s activities were uncovered around Mowe-Ibafo area in Obafemi-Owode local government area.
He added that information revealed that the nefarious activities of the gang cut across the South-west, where they had succeeded in abducting many children.
“The operatives from SARS went after the women and three of them were promptly arrested.
“It is unfortunate that the leader of the gang, Abibat Oyesanya, had been arrested and convicted for a similar offence in the past,” Ilyasu said.
He added that the command also rescued a 3-year-old victim from the gang.
