Six Nabbed For Allegedly Kidnapping Business Partner, Using His Phone To Withdraw From His Bank Account

The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of six men accused of abducting their business associate in the Lekki area of Lagos.

The victim, who is widely known by the nickname “Senator,” was reportedly held hostage for three days following a disagreement over a business transaction.

According to a police source who spoke with journalists on Sunday, the suspects were arrested on Friday morning after the victim’s family lodged a formal complaint.

“The family filed a missing person report when the victim failed to return home after leaving the house on Tuesday. Detectives immediately launched an investigation and tracked his phone signal to an apartment in Lekki. A rescue team was dispatched to the location where he was eventually found,” the source explained.

Another officer familiar with the case revealed that the suspects subjected the victim to degrading treatment throughout his captivity.

“His mobile phone was seized, and withdrawals were made from his bank account. During interrogation, it was revealed that the suspects had been involved in a joint business with him, and when the deal did not go in their favour, they resorted to abduction in an attempt to recover their money,” the officer said.

Although the specific details of the business dispute were not disclosed, police authorities confirmed that investigations are still ongoing. The suspects are expected to face charges once questioning is concluded.

When contacted, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, said she had not yet been briefed on the incident.

“I will reach out to the division handling the case and provide updates accordingly,” she stated.
