Police in Anambra arrest Olisa Oyelu, known as “Obele,” a kidnap suspect who has been in hiding for about five years. The arrest is carried out by operatives attached to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) of the Anambra State Police Command.
According to the reports, Oyelu went into hiding in 2021 after members of his gang were arrested. The trigger for the gang’s crackdown is described as a kidnapping operation in which a victim dies. One report notes that Oyelu was 21 years old when the earlier arrests occurred.
Both outlets present the same core timeline: the 2021 event involving his gang, Oyelu’s subsequent disappearance, and his later capture by SCID. Neither article provides additional details on his role in specific cases, where he is taken after arrest, or whether charges have been filed at the time of reporting.
