Operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, have paraded a nursing mother among a six-man syndicate that specialises in kidnapping toddlers in Ondo State.

The Director of DSS in Ondo State, Mr Jonathan Kure, while parading the suspects at the agency’s headquarters, said the syndicate had been terrorising the state by the kidnapping of toddlers between the ages of two and four years.

Mr Kure said a manhunt was launched with the support of the Ondo State government to track down a syndicate full of young men and a nursing mother.

He noted that the nursing mother was a member of the kidnap syndicate, also helped keep weapons for the syndicate and was a wife to one of the arrested kidnappers.

The Ondo State DSS Director said further investigation would continue and that the suspects would soon be charged to court.

Mr Kure noted that the operation was carried out in synergy with the men of the Nigerian Army and appreciated the collaboration amongst the security agencies in Ondo State.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa while speaking with newsmen at the DSS office assured indigenes and residents of the state of adequate security of their lives and property.

Mr Aiyedatiwa urged landlords to always do proper profiling of their tenants and know the kind of work they do.
