Police goes after runaway Lagos kidnap kingpins, promises cash reward

Lagos State Police Command has placed a bounty on wanted kidnap suspects, the husband and in-laws of the suspected ‘nanny kidnapper’, Funmilayo Kareem.

“Give information that will aid their arrest and you will get a cash reward,” the command said.

It made the promise in an effort to arrest the nanny’s husband, Waheed Kareem and his brother, Akeem Kareem.

In a statement, the command said: “We will appreciate any credible information that will facilitate their arrest.

“Together, we can keep Lagos and indeed our neighbourhood safe and crime free.”

Funmilayo Kareem,35, was arrested by the Lagos State Police Command, Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) operatives last month after her second Kidnap mission in Lagos, orchestrated by her husband and in-laws, where she abducted three children of the Orekoya family and demanded for a 13 million naira ransom.
