A
suspected kidnapper, who wanted to kidnap a pharmacy owner, slept off as a
result of tramadol he took before the operation.
The
Ondo State Police Command said the incident took place in Owo town , Ondo
State, on Sunday, adding that as of Monday, the suspect was still sleeping due
to the effect of the drug.
Parading
the unconscious suspect at the command headquarters in Akure, the state Police
Public Relations Officer, Mr Femi Joseph, explained that the suspect and his
gang members had invaded a pharmacy in Owo to kidnap the owner.
Joseph
said the three-man gang stormed the store with a gun, but the victim raised the
alarm and escaped through the back door.
The
PPRO said, “After failing to abduct their target, the hoodlums fled, but one of
them stumbled because he was not active again due to the effect of the tramadol
he had taken.
“The
suspect has been sleeping for more than 24 hours after his arrest while a
400mg tablet of tramadol was found in his pocket. “
