A welder has been remanded in court for allegedly breaking into an apartment of a Chinese man to abduct him.
A 32-year-old welder, Agwo, who was arrested while attempting to
kidnap a Chinese national was on Monday remanded on the orders of a Yaba
Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State.
The Magistrate, Mrs E.N. Ojuromi, ordered that Agwo should be kept at
the Ikoyi Correctional Facility pending advice from the state Director
of Public Prosecutions.
She adjourned the case until January 13, 2020.
The Prosecutor, Sgt. Godwin Oriabure, told the court that the defendant
committed the offences at 7.30pm on October 18, at Ifako Ijaiye area of
Lagos State.
He said the defendant and his accomplices, who were still at large,
broke into the apartment of the complainant, Mr Shanyue Ding, and
attempted to kidnap him for a ransom.
According to him, Ding raised an alarm that attracted his neighbours.
He said the accomplices took to their heels, leaving the defendant, who was apprehended by the neighbours.
Oriabure further told the court that the defendant also inflicted
injuries in the complainant’s back and hands while he was attempting to
tie him with a rope.
The alleged offences contravene Sections 3 and 4(c) of the Kidnapping
(Prohibition) Law of Lagos State, 2017, and Section 172 of the Criminal
Laws of Lagos State, 2015 (Revised).
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Section 3 stipulates 20 years’
imprisonment for conspiracy to kidnap, Section 4(c) provides for 25
years jail term for an attempt to kidnap while Section 411 carries two
years’ jail term for conspiracy.
