There was an uproar over an alleged kidnappers’ dungeon around College
Crescent, Oke-Ado area, Ibadan, when residents rose up to lynch an
alleged kidnapper, an Igbo trader who operates around the vicinity.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that Okezi, the Managing Director of Professor Olisco, BMW Plaza, around Imalefalafia area, was alleged to have attempted to stab a student of a private school, close to a popular printing press, at College Crescent.
The trader, who was reported to have walked into one of the structures, where he also operates a car wash, at College Crescent junction, was said to have pursued the student with a knife early morning, but the boy escaped unhurt.
As soon as the student escaped and got to the school premises, the principal, it was gathered, came with the boy to ascertain the claim.
Sources informed that shortly after, some police officers arrived at the scene and the boy, who pointed to Okezi, was quoted to have stated before the school principal and policemen at the scene, that “he was pursuing me with knife.”
The scene attracted crowd of residents who came on the hint that another dungeon had been discovered in Ibadan.
Mr Okezie and some members of the school authorities were later taken to the police station, while the people painstakingly searched through the building, trying to find if there would be a dungeon.
One of the residents, Mr Wale Akinola, appealed to the state government to help relocate Mr Okezi from the area.
“This man’s behaviour has become questionable these days. Just last week, he also attacked somebody with a machete. We are not saying he is kidnapping or doing all sort of things, but pursuing people around with either knife or machete cannot be tolerated anymore.
“Even the caveat hanging on his head is enough for one to be scared, especially, where our children play around. So, we are appealing to the state government to relocate him and save us from this trauma,” he said.
