Some suspected kidnappers have been arrested by the Oyo State police command for allegedly abducting and killing a poultry farm owner, Tomilade Sunday Aladeniyi.
According to reports Aladeniyi was killed because he sacked one of the suspected kidnappers when he discovered that he had been stealing his farm eggs.
Aladeniyi’s lifeless body was allegedly dumped at a forest along Ijebu-Ode after the kidnappers had collected ransom from his family.

Confirming the incident, Abiodun Odude, the Oyo State Police Commissioner, described the suspected kidnappers as sons of Lucifer.
The suspects who the police said would soon be charged to court for prosecution are Abdullahi Musa, 37, Isah Tambaya, 20, Yuguda Yusuf, 35, Aminu Ahmadu, 24, and Ojo John, 34.
Speaking with journalists in an interview, one of the suspected kidnappers, Abdullahi Musa, revealed that one of the staff of the victim had invited other members of the gang, mainly Fulani herders, to kidnap their boss and were given N20,000 each out of the money collected from the family as ransom.
According to him, they had no plans to kill Aladeniyi until one of them raised the alarm that if allowed to go, he (Aladeniyi) would reveal their identity.
