“We have concluded our own investigation regarding the kidnap of the two children by their teacher and, on Thursday morning, a team of police officers from our command escorted the suspects to Ogun State for continuation of the investigation and prosecution of the victims. The victims have been re-united with their parents and have also gone back to Ogun State were they reside.

“With the success recorded by our command and the confessional statement of the suspects, we are optimistic that the Ogun State Police Command would also do a further investigation into the matter and prosecute the suspects”, ASP Anyanwu said.
