The State Commissioner for Police, Mr. Gbenga Adeyanju, disclosed this in Akure when parading the suspect and his acolyte, Ibukun Adetigha, alongside other suspects for various offences.
Adeyanju recounted that the victim, Segun Omosaye from Okitipupa, the headquarters of Okitipupa Local Government Area of the state, was previously kidnapped by unknown gunmen on November 30, 2017 but regained his freedom a month after.
He said Omosaye received a text message on September 26, 2018 from his abductors, who admitted the previous abduction, informing him that they would come back to kidnap him again and kill him.
According to him, the Prophet, who is also the Founder of Gethsemane Cherubim Church in Igbokoda, the headquarters of Ilaje LGA, had claimed he saw a vision that the victim would be abducted before the incident.
Ayenuberun confessed to committing the crime, revealing that:
"I did it in a bid to get money from them. This is why I asked my boy to send message to them. I am not a kidnapper, I have never involved in kidnapping business before."
