Lagos Billionaire Kidnap Plot: Nollywood Actor’s Final Call Revealed

In a scene reminiscent of a Nollywood thriller, the chilling conversation between Prince Henry Ode, a Nollywood actor and the leader of a notorious billionaire kidnapping gang in Lagos, and another gang member, has been revealed.

Police sources disclosed that a gang member was stationed inside the bustling Ladipo auto spare parts market on the Oshodi-Apapa expressway, Lagos, to track their target’s movements hours before the operation.

The undercover member provided real-time updates on their victim’s whereabouts, ultimately giving the green light for the kidnapping. This crucial intel emerged following an investigation by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police Special Squad, led by Kehinde Oni. The squad intercepted the kidnappers, resulting in a deadly shootout where the criminals were neutralized.

Detectives, handpicked by State Commissioner of Police Mr. Adegoke Fayoade, had strategically monitored the gang’s activities. Their meticulous planning paid off as they uncovered vital digital and electronic evidence about the gang’s preparation. The following conversation in Igbo was recorded between Ode and the market-embedded gang member:

Actor: How far, is he out now? Which road leads to that place, is it through airport or 7/8?

Member: I don’t know the road he uses. I am still watching him. Where are you people now? Have you taken off? He has entered his car, no time.

Actor: Do you know your problem? You are never calculative. You are a drunk. Drink will make you not to achieve anything in life. So you have the compass about the man’s movement and you did not tell us earlier? Continue drinking. All I want is for you to give me the information I need. After we must have succeeded and given you your share, you can finish it on drinks, no wahalla. How many times did I call you? We don dey come.

Member: Please don’t be angry with me, no vex. You know how Ladipo is now.

Actor: Be careful and know how you are picking calls, be careful oooo.

Member: That’s what I am doing and you said I was drunk. I am always very careful. Please forgive me. I always step out each time I want to answer your call, biko (please).

Actor: No wahalla, just hold your phone steady. Monitor the guy. Let me know all his movement.

Member: I have heard, no wahalla.

Actor: We are on our way. We are at Bucknor.

Member: Where exactly are you people? What is happening? I need to know how far. The man is still there. I am still in the market. You know they are about closing for the day. I don’t want to attract unnecessary attention.

Additional details have emerged about Prince Ode’s clandestine activities. Often playing a sharpshooter or a lone ranger, Ode cleverly avoided arrest and public scrutiny while abducting victims. Sources revealed that Ode used a separate location to detain victims, where the sound of rehearsals and loud conversations could be heard.

As of press time, detectives are working to identify all deceased gang members and gather comprehensive information about their backgrounds. According to sources, “It is only then that we will be able to tell the world their identities and it will not be long.”
