The wedding had to be put on hold by families of the bride and groom following the ugly incident. Despite the fact that the news of the abduction of the would-be bride went viral, some relations and well wishers, who were not privy to the ugly incident were taken aback for the wedding.
Just imagine this... One of the gang member named Ayodeji, said to be physically handicapped was said to be the informant, while the wife, Adebimpe is their armorer.
The bride was abducted in front of her house located at Mama Nigeria street, Ayeka on a Friday together with her son and taken to an unknown destination until she was rescued a week after.
Police source hinted that the bride who had gone for shopping with her son in her Space Wagon car ahead of the wedding was double-crossed by the kidnapper.
According to Vanguard, the groom (Ayebameru Agbeye) who was informed by the bride's parents, reported the incident to the Okitipupa police divisional station and was referred to the anti-cult squad of the state command. The son and a Mitsubushi Space Wagon car were later abandoned by the kidnappers to avoid being traced by security operatives, who were on their trail.
The anti-cult squad of the Ondo State Police Command after six days busted the syndicate and effected the release of the bride. The wedding has since been put on hold after the temporary setback.
One of the kidnappers, Phillip Ezekiel, who spoke with Vanguard when they were paraded confessed that their leader Ufoma Godwin, coordinated all the activities of the gang. Godwin is currently hospitalized following injuries he sustained during a gun battle with detectives.
Phillip said that the cripple couple within the gang provided information on would-be victims.
According to him, the gang preferred abducting females just as he confessed that they have, March this year, abducted five women including the two catholic reverend sisters.
Phillips said that N50,000 was given to him as his share from the N200,000 ransom they collected from the family of one of their victims. The police say they would all be charged to court.
