A middle-aged man, Kelvin Esosa Osagie, has been arrested for allegedly masterminding the abduction of his 90 year-old grandmother, Madam Victoria Aiwerioghene.
Madam Aiwerioghene was reportedly abducted in July at her home at Ikpoba-Hill in Benin City.
She was taken to Eghosa Street in another area, where she was kept inside a wardrobe for six days.
The abductors allegedly demanded a ransom of N20million.
Osagie was arrested, following a confession by another suspect, Fred Nosa Omoruyi.
Omoruyi was charged with conspiracy to kidnap and remanded in custody.
Police spokesman Ms. Titilope Otukoya said Omoruyi told investigators that Osagie arranged the kidnapping of his paternal grandmother.
She said: “Officers and men of the Zone 5 Intelligence unit sprang into action, rescued the victim and arrested a suspect, Fred Nosa Omoruyi, who has been charged to court.
“Omoruyi gave the name of the master mind of the operation as Kelvin Esosa Osagie.
“The police arrested Osagie and will charge him to court after investigation is concluded.”
She said the police was still searching for the other member of the gang. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
