Ibrahim Abdulsalami
A
13-year-old boy, Babatunde Samuel, has thwarted the alleged ploy of a
55-year-old man, Ibrahim Abdulsalami, to abduct him and two of his
friends while playing football on John Ogunjobi Street, Suberu Oje in
the Alagbado area of Lagos.
The names of the two other children were
given as Tobi Ogunride (8) and 11-year-old Sogo James. It was learnt
that Abdulsalami approached them at about 6pm on Sunday, April 12 and
reportedly offered them N50, to follow him to an unnamed place.
The children declined the offer, but Abdulsalami persisted and promised them other gifts.
Samuel was said to have stylishly left
the playing ground and rushed home to inform his father, who hurriedly
followed him to the spot.
The man
initially denied the act when the boy’s father quizzed him. He was said
to have been taken to the Baale of the community and was subsequently handed over to the police.
He was later charged with attempted
kidnapping and conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace by the
police after he reportedly confessed to the crime.
