Investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, has revealed that the police have declared an accomplice of notorious kidnapper, PIDOM, wanted. Hundeyin, who has been tracking PIDOM’s activities, disclosed that the accomplice, identified as Emmanuel, was declared wanted for his role in facilitating PIDOM’s operations.
According to Hundeyin, Emmanuel was instrumental in providing PIDOM with vital information and logistical support, leading to several high-profile kidnappings.
The police declaration comes after Hundeyin’s investigative report exposed PIDOM’s network and modus operandi.
Hundeyin’s report revealed that PIDOM, whose real name is Festus Idehen, had been terrorizing Lagos and Ogun states, kidnapping prominent individuals and demanding hefty ransoms.
The journalist’s findings led to PIDOM’s arrest in August, but Emmanuel remained at large until now.
The police have urged anyone with information on Emmanuel’s whereabouts to come forward, promising confidentiality and protection.
Hundeyin’s exposé has been praised for its thoroughness and impact, leading to calls for greater collaboration between journalists and law enforcement agencies in tackling crime.
