Wasiu Oloyede, a notorious leader of a kidnapping gang, was arrested by police in the Odo Pako area of Ota, Ogun State, on Sunday, July 20, 2025.
Oloyede’s gang had kidnapped a soldier in Alagbado, Lagos, on Friday, July 18, stealing the soldier’s uniform, ID card, ATM cards, and phone. Fortunately, the soldier managed to escape captivity.
