In a jaw-dropping twist that sounds like a movie plot, the kidnappers behind the abduction of a prominent Edo doctor have been arrested — right at the hospital where their victim went for treatment.
The doctor had been kidnapped and held for a whopping ₦100 million ransom, sending shockwaves through the local community. Law enforcement sources reveal that the abductors, emboldened and possibly unaware of police surveillance, showed up at the hospital when the doctor sought medical attention — only to be nabbed on the spot.
The daring arrest has left residents stunned. “It’s unbelievable,” one witness said. “They were holding him hostage, and yet they came to the same place he works, thinking they could get away with it!”
Authorities confirm that the suspects are now in custody and investigations are ongoing. The case has reignited discussions about security for medical professionals, especially high-profile doctors, and the audacity of modern-day kidnappers.
The Edo doctor, though shaken, is reportedly safe and receiving care. Police are urging anyone with information to assist as they unravel the full network behind the crime.
This dramatic reversal — kidnappers caught at the very place of their victim’s profession — has made headlines nationwide, proving that sometimes, crime really does pay… for a very short time.
