The court also ordered the re-arrest of one Rotimi Oyewole who allegedly received and bought the robbed Camry car with registration No. DT 688 ASB to face trial, and same with Oghenemano Isiah who allegedly jumped bail.

According to the prosecution, first prosecution witness, Mrs. Tobore Oborevwori who identified one of her captors as her husband’s driver, testified that on May 8, 2011, at about 1.00pm while driving  along Osubi road after visiting a widow,  noticed a gold coloured Toyota Camry car trailing her and suddenly ambushed her car.

Thereafter, two men carrying arms came out of the car, took her to the back seat of their car, blindfolded her and drove her to an unknown destination.

She was later chained hands and legs in a toilet with another female victim while the culprits dispossessed her of her Toyota Camry car number. DT 688, BlackBerry touch phone and other personal effects.

After 48 hours of being incommunicado, the accused persons used her phone to call her pastor, demanding for N50 million ransom.

Operatives of the Department of State Security who were later contacted, used the calls to trace one of them to a hotel at Afiesere where he was arrested, which led to the rescue of the victim on May 13 2011 at Okpare-Olomu.
