One of the suspect. Mafe, claimed to be a graduate of the University of Ilorin. He regretted his action, said it was the quest to make money that led him into it.

He said: “When the issue of getting a Dubai job came up, my parents could not afford the N750,000 demanded from us, and Abraham raised the issue of kidnapping which led us to this predicament.

I have dragged my family’s name in mud. I am well-brought up but I can’t factor what led me to this act. I pray my parents will forgive me.”

Jatto confessed that they rented a two-bedroom apartment behind the trade fair complex to keep their victims.
