Man dressed like kidnapper mobbed as his boss in black Jeep about to pick him up

Labaran Ibrahim looked like crazy, acted like a loony, and that raised suspicion.

So Amotekun in Ondo staked him out, and, within hours, Ibrahim’s case became convoluted.

The 30-year-old is now in police net in Akure, with his handler Rabiu Adamu, both from Sokoto, facing investigation.

Hawkers and shop owners at the Akure garage said Ibrahim was just bumming around the car park, up and down the Itanla junction. His rambling set some signals.

Later the black Jeep pulled over close by so he could hop him.

But it was late.

The Amotekun and others monitoring him lunged at him, beat him, and he started talking.

He said the Jeep owner was his boss and in-law who invited him all the way from Sokoto for work

“The man paid N700 to the driver and later gave me N1500 to board a car going to Ore and from Ore to Epe where I am going to work. He did not tell me the kind of work he wants me to do,” Ibrahim said

“Rabiu was coming behind in his black Jeep with three other men inside. He told me to remove my sim card and put it in Akure garage roundabout and go to Ore before I was arrested at Itanla because of the way I dressed,” he said.

If rambling around the area was not bad enough, the SIM removal and other instructions he got were suspect.

Amotekun said it was arresting Rabiu and the other men, too, for further investigation.
