An arrested suspect confessed to the police, clamming that he learnt the act of kidnapping from watching movies actor Zubby Michael featured in.
The suspect identified as Ayobamidele Ayodele, made the claim after being arrested in Ogun state for kidnapping six-year-old boy, identified as Ebube Eze. He was arrested by the Force Intelligence Response Team headed by Tunji Disu, after the father of the little boy sent a petition to the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba.
It was reported by Vanguard that the victim was kidnapped from Remson Group of Schools, located in Ojo Alaba area of Lagos, and was kept hostage for four days until a ransom of N550,000 was paid for his release.
Ayodele said;
“Zubby Michael is my favorite Nollywood actor and he is good at kidnapping roles.
“I decided to try out some of the methods used by Zubby to kidnap children and adults in the movies.
“I started by visiting several schools around Ojo to see the possibility of picking children without anyone noticing.”
“I am sorry for causing his family so much pain. I am not a cultist or an armed robber. I do not have a gang.
“I just trained myself by watching Zubby Michael. My parents trained me very well, I was just impatient and greedy.”
