Manager and her husband arrested for abducting and killing her employee after collecting N15m ransom
A woman, Okereke Olufunmilayo, who was the Manager at a building materials store, has been arrested for allegedly kidnapping and k#lling her boss – a hotelier -, Otunba Abayomi Ajayi Smith, in Ogun State.
She was said to have perpetrated the act with the aid of her husband, Larry Adebayo Adewumi and one Adebowale Sanni. It is reported that the hotelier was kidnapped on September 28, 2020, around about 7:30 am, at Anifowose Estate Igbeba, Ijebu-Ode by some gunmen.
He was killed by his abductors despite the N15 million ransom paid to them by his family. According to the Ogun State police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the efforts of the SP Taiwo Opadiran-led anti-kidnapping team were successful in September this year, when they got wind of plans by the same gang to kidnap the wife and son of their slain victim, Smith.
