A man together with his children have been nabbed in Ogun State.
This family was nabbed by men from the Ogun State Police Command and they were nabbed after their alleged involvement in a kidnapping incident.
The man is known as Oweniwe Okpara and per what we gathered he is from Delta State. His children are three and their names are Samson Okpara, Bright Okpara and Eze Okpara.
They were arrested after the Ogun state commissioner of police, Edward Ajogun gave an order to the Area Commander and all the DPOs bring to book anyone who is behind the several kidnapping cases in the area.
This latest development was confirmed by the Ogun State Police Command Spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi who said;
In the course of the investigation, it was discovered that three other members of the family constituting the criminal gang namely; Godwin Okpara, Godspower Okpara and Mathew Okpara are the armed squads of the syndicate, while Samson, Bright and Eze Okpara were the ones spying on their targeted victims.
One Emmanuel Joseph, a native of Ebele in Edo State was later recruited into the fold, having confronted their sister, Eze Okpara to tell him the source of money they count every day. They subsequently opened up to him that they were into the kidnapping business, and he also joined them.
