8 year-old boy kidnapped and used to buy crates of soft drinks

Wonders shall never end. On Monday, an 8 year-old
boy who was returning from a summer coaching
class (lesson) from a school located by Lawrence
road in Lagos was kidnapped by a man who then
tried to use him as collateral to buy crates of soft
drinks worth N51,000.



According to the story, the suspect, who was later
identified as Jonathan Coker, reportedly kidnapped
the primary school pupil (name withheld), took him
to a provision store located on Cole Street, ordered
the crates of soft drinks then told the shop owner
that he didn't have enough money to pay for the
goods hence would leave his 'younger brother'
behind, to get the full amount of money from his
house.

A deal the unsuspecting shop owner agreed to, so he
gave the crates of soft drinks to Coker.


However, as luck would have it, someone who knew
the 8 year old boy saw him in the shop and asked
him what he was doing in the shop. The little boy told
him he was picked up by the stranger walking away
(Cooker)
Cooker who was still within the vicinity of the shop
reportedly increased his pace in a bid to escape
from the scene.


Fortunately, Cooker was immediately apprehended
and arrested and the little boy was reunited with his
family.
