One Taiwo Ishola has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly kidnapping and killing two sons of his younger brother, Idowu, at Abata village in Abeokuta. 

Ishola reportedly committed the dastardly act in a bush in the Mile 6 area of Ajebo, in Abeokuta.

It was gathered that his younger brother by the name Idowu raised alarm after he discovered that his children, nine-year-old Promise, and seven-year-old Testimony, were missing.

The PUNCH reports that an anonymous source close to the family told it on Tuesday that the children were discovered missing last weekend and they were last seen with Taiwo.

“Idowu started looking for Promise and Testimony. After a search in the community, somebody told us that they were last seen with his brother, Taiwo, but since they are brothers, nobody suspected anything,” the source said. 

"It was after their father still didn’t see them after some time that everybody became suspicious. Their father was advised to inform the police before it would be too late. I’m still surprised that the lives of innocent children were cut short just like that.”

Another resident in the community, identified as Iya Alimat, said members of the the community were shocked when they found out that the children were killed.

"It happened on Saturday, but when they did not see the children, they started searching and people said it was Taiwo that took the boys away.

"On Saturday, we got the news that the children had been killed. Their father, after looking everywhere for them and could not find them, decided to inform the police and that was when the matter was exposed. How will somebody do that to his brother? We don’t know why he did it. Until we know, I can’t say much about it. But the man should face the wrath of the law.

Ogun State Police Command spokesman, Omolola Odutola, while confirming the incident said the police immediately went after Taiwo, he later confessed to committing the offence.
