Husband of Nanny Who Kidnapped Orekoya Kids, Declared Wanted by Police in Lagos State

Waheed Kareem, the husband of kidnapper nanny, Funmilayo Adeyemi, has been declared wanted as Police in Lagos State begin a massive manhunt for him. His picture has been released to the public for quick arrest. Funmilayo, who disguised as a nanny, kidnapped three Lagos children, Demola Orekoya, (6-years-old); Adedamola, (4-years-old); and Aderomola, (11months-old); after being employed through OLX, an online sales portal.

She abducted the family’s three children in less than 24-hours after she was employed.

The group of kidnappers, which consisted of Funmilayo, her husband, Kareem, her brother-in-law, Hakeem and her sister-in-law, had demanded the payment of N15million as ransom which was later reduced to N13million. About a week after the abduction, the victims’ family was said to have raised some of the money and paid before the kids were released.

The Special Anti-Robbery Squad, led by the Offier-in-Charge, Abba Kyari, had led an operation which led to the arrest of Adeyemi in the Shasha area of Lagos stae.

She confessed to have been behind the kidnap of two other boys-Raphael and Michael-in the Magodo area of Lagos, saying the children’s parents paid N3million as ransom. She however said her husband, Kareem, was the brain behind all the kidnaps, adding that she was only paid N30,000 after ransom was collected for the Magodo boys.

Nwosu said, "Yes, we have released his picture and it’s out there for members of the public."
