A 59-year-old suspected kidnapper identified to be Ayo Samuel has revealed how a member of deeper life church organised the abduction of his pastor in Ondo State.
While making the startling confession, he revealed that a church member of a Deeper Life Pastor, one Dayo, organised his Pastor’s kidnap in Akure, the Ondo State capital.
Pastor Otamayomi Ogedengbe of Deeper Life was abducted at Irese in Ifedore council area of the state in May this year.
The suspected, Ayo Samuel told journalists that he was part of the kidnapping gang that abducted the Deeper Life Pastor.
Pastor Ogedengbe spent some days in the kidnappers den before he was rescued after his family and church paid ransom to the abductors.
The suspect said that Dayo informed the gang members that the Pastor had money and has the capacity to pay ransom if kidnapped.
He said that members of the gang were five in number and that they took their victim to Ekiti State, where they kept him until the ransom demanded from his family was paid.
“I don’t know the name of the street, but I know the house. It belongs to Bunmi’s father.

Odunlami added that the suspect would soon be charged to court after the investigation is completed.
