The Ondo state command of the Nigerian Police
has arrested a suspected kidnapper who
allegedly wanted to kidnap a pharmacy owner
but slept off as a result of an illegal use of
Tramadol which he took before the operation.
The incident took place in Owo,
state, on
Sunday, August 5, but the suspect was still
sleeping when he was paraded on Monday due to
the effect of the drug.
Punch reports that the state police public
Relations Officer, Femi Joseph, who paraded the
unconscious suspect said that the sleeping man
and his gang members had invaded a pharmacy
in Owo to kidnap the owner.
The three-man gang stormed the store with a
gun, but the victim raised the alarm and escaped
through the back door, according to Joseph.
He 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."
The police PPRO said the suspect would be
charged to court after regaining consciousness.
