Amotekun Corps Arrests Ogun Man Over Staged Kidnapping to Escape N1 Million Debt

The Ogun State Amotekun Corps has arrested Enitan Awoyemi, a 41-year-old resident of Irolu-Remo, for allegedly staging his own kidnapping to avoid repaying a N1 million gambling debt.

According to Brigadier General Alade Adedigba (retd.), Awoyemi’s wife reported receiving a call from her husband, claiming he had been abducted and that his captors demanded a N5 million ransom.

Investigations revealed Awoyemi’s debt stemmed from gambling losses after a previous N6 million lottery win, which he spent on a Toyota Corolla and a motorcycle. Unable to repay his debts, he allegedly faked his kidnapping.

Awoyemi was tracked and arrested by Amotekun officers, along with the Vigilantes Group of Nigeria, at Irolu Okada Park. Officers noticed a strong insecticide odor on him, suggesting a possible suicide attempt. He was taken to Rufina Private Hospital for treatment and will be handed over to the police once discharged.

The Amotekun Commander praised community support in the arrest and urged vigilance, stressing the importance of public cooperation in ensuring safety and security in Ogun State.

The immediate past governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has embarked on what he describes as a well-deserved post-tenure vacation.

This break, according to him, will give him the time to unwind and prioritize his health, with plans to undergo extended medical checks after the eight demanding years he spent leading the state.

This news was released by Crusoe Osagie, Obaseki’s longtime spokesperson, who issued a statement on Wednesday.

In the statement, Osagie conveyed the former governor’s gratitude to God and the people of Edo State and Nigeria, acknowledging the opportunity he had to serve.

Reflecting on his time in office, Obaseki expressed a deep appreciation for the support and trust shown to him throughout his administration, adding that his hopes for the future of the state remain strong.

He encouraged all Edo citizens, both in Nigeria and abroad, to remain optimistic and united, and to continue praying for the state’s peace, progress, and prosperity.

Obaseki concluded his two-term governorship on November 11, 2024, passing the mantle to the newly elected governor, Monday Okpebholo.

The transition marked the end of an administration that focused on various reforms, especially in areas such as public service, infrastructure, and education, as Obaseki sought to modernize Edo State.

His successor, Okpebholo, brings a fresh perspective to Edo’s leadership and secured his position after a closely contested election.

Okpebholo, representing the All Progressives Congress (APC), triumphed over key opponents including Asue Ighodalo of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party.
