Attempt by a middle-aged man to exchange an eight-year-old kidnapped boy with goods worth N51,000 in Surulere area of Lagos, has been foiled , following his arrest, Monday. The suspect, identified as Jonathan Cooker, reportedly kidnapped the primary school pupil (names withheld) who was returning from a summer coaching in a school located around Lawrence road.
Thereafter, he reportedly took the boy to a provision store located on Cole Street and ordered for crates of soft drinks worth N51,000. Instead of paying, he was said to have told the shop owner that he would be leaving his younger brother (kidnapped boy) behind, to get money from the house. The unsuspecting shop owner obliged him and gave the crates of soft drinks to him.
But the bubble burst after a passer-by who identified the little boy asked what he was doing in the shop. At that moment, Cooker reportedly increased his pace in a bid to escape from the scene . But he was immediately apprehended when the little boy told the passer-by that he was picked by a stranger.

Na their way nah... change as that is why Buhari want to punish Tinubu after he had helped him win the Presidency...Even the seller is a foolish person, why will she allowed the criminal to go with the goods and leave the boy behind? You have to be smart in business as his child can wait and your good wait as well while the criminal go anywhere he kept his money and come back to pay you...Rule 101 in business......

I don't understand the seller as well, why would you agreed to that. But maybe the seller is just a simple person and never thought something of such could be going on, i don't really blame the seller...
