    According to information made available by the Police Commissioner, Patrick Kehinde Longe, the man, Adamu Saliu and his 15-year-old son abducted the church worshippers at Osun area of the State.

    Parading the duo and 14 other suspects arrested on Tuesday in Osogbo, the Command’s spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola said the suspected kidnappers were apprehended after they attacked a Pentecostal church where worshipers were holding a vigil.

    “The hoodlums, whose numbers could not be ascertained, stormed the church and shot sporadically to scare the worshippers away”.

    The suspected kidnappers abducted some members of the church and allegedly sexually assaulted female members of the church in the process.


    “The police on receiving information moved to the scene and combed the bushes leading to the arrest of three suspects, including a father and son,”

    Opalola also appealed to church worshipers to be weary of attending vigils in remote areas to prevent ugly occurrences such as this.

    She disclosed.
    Saliu, who claims he is a farmer and an Imam in Ilesa, however, denied any involvement in kidnapping.

  • Woman Held Social Worker Captive In Garage While She Killed Her Three Children In Murder-Suicide, Police Say

    Woman Held Social Worker Captive In Garage While She Killed Her Three Children In Murder-Suicide, Police Say

    An Oklahoma mother is accused of holding a social worker captive while she killed her three children in an apparent murder-suicide, reports the Daily Mail. Police say the unidentified social worker set off fireworks in the garage to try and alert people of the mother’s crime. 

    The social worker was reportedly on assignment to collect Brandy McCaslin’s 11-year-old daughter and was greeted with a gun to her head by the suspect. McCaslin’s confiscated the woman’s phone and locked her in the garage. McCaslin then went on to shoot her daughter, killing her, as well as her two sons, six-year-old Bryce and 10-month-old Billy before turning the gun on herself. 

    Neighbors reported seeing fireworks coming from inside the home at the time, which authorities revealed was the social worker trying to warn someone about the danger the children were facing.

    When officers were finally able to get into the house hours later, they found McCaslin and her three children dead.

    Billy’s father, Billy Jacobson Sr. told DailyMail.com that McCaslin had asked for an extra hour with their son, which he now believes she

    “planned it in advance.”

    “I knew she had problems, and I was so scared something could happen like this. She planned this ahead of time,”

    he told the outlet. 

    “She asked me a week and a half ago, if she could have an extra hour with Billy that day. She was a very controlling person and that combined with her losing her grandparents is what caused this. Her not having control over where her kids went, it would have been a factor. She was trying to push for them to move back in with her,” 

    “Her grandparents would baby her through her whole life, they brought her up, gave her everything she wanted and if she got in trouble they covered for her. All it did was create a monster,”

    he added.

  • Officials Still Seeking 2-Year-Old Girl After Alleged Kidnapper Was Arrested, Suspect Refuses To Give Toddler’s Location

    Officials Still Seeking 2-Year-Old Girl After Alleged Kidnapper Was Arrested, Suspect Refuses To Give Toddler’s Location

    Several officials are still seeking a 2-year-old girl who was kidnapped in Lansing, Michigan. According to Macomb Daily, the girl’s mother was assaulted by the alleged kidnapper, who was apprehended on Monday morning. Wynter Cole Smith, the toddler, was abducted by Rashad Maleek Trice, 28, on Sunday, Lansing officials say. 

    According to a police statement,

    “We are working with members of the victim’s family and are very thankful for the public’s assistance in providing us with tips to help find Wynter… In any case like this, we need everyone to be moving in the same direction, particularly the family, the community, and law enforcement. As a reminder, anyone who is found assisting the suspect in an effort to hide the victim will be subject to potential criminal charges.”

    Officials arrived at the 3000 block of Beaujardin Drive after responding to a report. When they arrived, they discovered a 22-year-old woman who was stabbed multiple times. The woman was taken to the hospital where she was treated. The unnamed woman informed officials that Trice is her former boyfriend and the father of her child, the outlet reported. She added that he attacked her; however, when she defended herself and wounded him, he grabbed Wynter and left his child. According to the Lansing State Journal, Wynter is not his daughter. He and the toddler were last seen driving a 2013 white Chevrolet Impala. 

    Detroit officials say that Trice was seen driving the same vehicle around Detroit on Monday between 1-5 a.m. St. Clair Shores officials say that a cop recognized the car and attempted to stop it; however, the car fled at 100 mph. Nearly 10-15 minutes into the chase, the suspect slammed into a patrol car, which ceased the chase. Despite Trice resisting, he was hit with a Taser and taken into custody. 

    The FBI is helping the Lansing police department find the toddler. According to a spokesperson,

    “We will continue to do so until Wynter is found.”

    Man Sexually Assaulted Woman In His Lover’s Car After Victim Mistook Him For Uber Driver

    St. Petersburg police arrested Kenneth Levelle Streeter, 32, on charges of attempted sexual battery and kidnapping. According to arrest affidavits obtained by the outlet, the woman called an Uber and mistakenly jumped into a blue Ford Explorer. The woman was reportedly tipsy and had not been paying attention to the direction of the suspect’s SUV which was going the wrong direction. 

    “The defendant parked the vehicle behind an apartment complex and entered the back seat where the victim was seated,”

    documents stated.

    “The defendant then began kissing the victim’s body and when she refuted his advance[s] and tried to exit the vehicle, the defendant forcibly pulled her back into the vehicle, ripping a white shirt off the victim and leaving her shoes outside the vehicle, and then closed the right rear passenger door. The defendant put his hands down the victim’s pants and touched her vagina.”

    The victim managed to take out a pocket knife and was able to escape the driver’s side back door, according to the affidavits.

    “This is all captured on video,”

    police wrote.

    “The defendant was positively identified by the registered owner of the vehicle, whom he had been dating for several months.”

    Streeter is being held for ICE at the Pinellas County jail on a $200,000 bond. He is from the island of Turks and Caicos, police documents reveal.

  • Wig Dangling From Woman’s Trunk Mistaken For Person, ‘That’s My Weave!’

    Wig Dangling From Woman’s Trunk Mistaken For Person, ‘That’s My Weave!’

    A woman’s wig, that was seen sticking out the trunk of her car, prompted police to investigate after concerned onlookers reported what they believed to be a kidnapping or murder, NY Post reported. 

    Police showed up at Toria Townsend’s residence in Massillon, Ohio on suspicion of kidnapping, only to discover that the 30-year-old had just thrown hair extensions in her trunk. The comedic moment was captured on Townsend’s doorbell and posted to TikTok.

    “Oh my Jesus, that’s my weave!”

    Towsend responded seemingly embarrassed. 

    Townsend told officers she was in a rush to a hair appointment and threw the wig in the trunk, forgetting that it was there. A disturbed bypasser took a photo of the hair hanging out the trunk, along with the license plate, and sent it to the police.

    After reflecting on her ride home Townsend said it makes sense why she kept getting stares.

    “People kept mugging me and giving my dirty looks. I’m like, ‘Why did everyone wake up on the wrong side of the bed?’”

    Townsend told the outlet.

  • Teen Girl Abused For Months After Being Kidnapped and Exchanged For Drugs, Abuser Sentenced To 25 Years

    Teen Girl Abused For Months After Being Kidnapped and Exchanged For Drugs, Abuser Sentenced To 25 Years

    A man from Georgia sexually assaulted a teen girl for several months after she was sold to him by another man as a trade-off for drugs, prosecutors say, reports FOX

    46-year-old Dale Drzewucki pleaded guilty earlier in the month to a slew of charges including

    “trafficking of persons for sexual servitude, rape, statutory rape, enticing a child for indecent purposes, child molestation, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor,”

    the news outlet reports. 

    Dalia Racine, Douglas County District Attorney, said on Wednesday,

    “No community is immune from the tragedy that is human trafficking. What this victim had to endure at the hands of this defendant is unimaginable….. We hope that this conviction will help her and her family in the healing process from these horrible acts. We applaud all that were a part of bringing him to justice.”

    The 13-year-old girl was walking close to Six Flags Park after running away from her Cobb County home when an unidentified man offered her a ride and then drove her to his home in Douglas County. He later got in contact with Drzewucki and offered him sexual acts with the teen to trade for drugs. Drzewucki later picked up the victim and took her to his home as he held her for close to three months. He sexually abused her and drugged her, according to prosecutors. 

    Back in January 2021, the unnamed teen was able to escape the man’s home and get in contact with her mother. Thankfully, she later reunited with her family. 

    Drzewucki was recently sentenced to 25 years behind bars.

  • Man Accused of Kidnapping and Torturing Women Told Police Victims Tried to Burglarize His Home

    Man Accused of Kidnapping and Torturing Women Told Police Victims Tried to Burglarize His Home

    A California man who allegedly kidnapped two women and tortured them told officers that the victims tried to burglarize his home, reports Fox News

    Gilberto Puga, 53, contacted the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office the morning of May 14 about two women who had

    “burglarized his residence.”

    According to authorities, the two women called in shortly after

    “screaming for help,”

    it said in a press release. The victims were seen walking away from Puga’s residence when officers arrived. 

    Investigators confirmed

    “that the two females had not burglarized Puga’s residence but had been locked in Puga’s residence, held against their will, and tortured,”

    the sheriff’s office said. According to a criminal complaint obtained by local news outlet KTLA 5,

    “the suspect allegedly held the two victims in his enclosed patio for more than 30 minutes while he tortured them with a stun gun.”

    Puga, who reportedly has had past run-ins with the law, was arrested and charged with false imprisonment and torture. He is being held on $1 million bail. 

    Neighbors of Puga also came forward accusing him of suspicious behavior. One neighbor accused Puga of hitting on his 18-year-old daughter.

    “He pulls up and blocks her in our driveway,”

    the neighbor told KTLA.

    “He comes up and starts telling her how pretty she was and because it was also Valentine’s Day weekend, that if she doesn’t have a date, he’d love to take her out on a date.”

    The neighbor has since taken out a restraining order against Puga.
