Photo: Kidnappers of Lagos School Girls Arrested, Victims Freed

The two suspects pictured above were paraded today by The Lagos state police command over the abduction of the three schoolgirls  from Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary School in Ikorodu. 

The girls were reportedly found at the Igbokuta area of Ikorodu.

Emmanuel Arigidi, one of the alleged abductors that was paraded says they did not rape or otherwise physically assault the girls though he could not explain their motivation to forcefully enter the school premises and kidnap the three girls.

Speaking to a ThisDay reporter, the kidnapper said they approached the school and escaped via canoes at the edge of Adama creeks.

Arigidi was apprehended by the police during a nighttime rescue operation. A source within the Lagos State Police Command says the kidnapper was nabbed when he came out to buy food.

Also arrested were two suspects who helped the kidnappers register the SIM card they used to contact the victims’ parents.

Following Arigidi’s arrest, the father of one of the gang members was summoned to talk to the kidnappers and warn them about the impending aerial police attack. The suspects, sensing there was nothing they could do but release the girls, took the girls to Igbo-Okuta Bridge, Imota and made an anonymous police call.

Fatai Owoseni, the Lagos state police commissioner who was stationed at the area for the night, stormed the bridge and carried the girls away to safety.

The girls have since been reunited with their parents and underwent medical tests.

Recall that Timilehin Olosa, Tofunmi Popoolaniyan and Deborah Akinayo were kidnapped from a classroom in the Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary School on February 29. The abductors, about 15 heavily armed men, reportedly dug a hole under the fence surrounding the school, started sporadic shooting and overpowered the security personnel on the premises. They escaped through the school fence together with the hostages.

Meet Man Who Turns 15 on Monday While His Son Turns 5.

Eric Shekoufeh, doesn't look four neither does his father, Fred Shekoufeh, who look a lot older than 15.

But they are!

Shekoufeh and son, who live in La Mesa, California were both born on February 29, an event that has a 1 in 2.1 million chance of happening, according to Time.com.

Eric will be celebrating his 5th official birthday while his dad will be celebrating his 15th on the same day.

Eric said his favorite Feb. 29th birthday was in 2012, when he turned "four."

"Everyone and their mother made a joke about me turning four, and that four-year-olds shouldn't be able to drive cars. Well, evidently I could," he said. "I was glad to have an actual birthday on such on emphatic year: getting a license. No confusion at the DMV. I hope I can say the same when I'm going out for my 21st."

This year, Eric Shekoufeh, a student at UCLA, plans to do more of his celebrating at Big Bear over the weekend.
"I don't plan to push it over to March 1st," he said.

He said he is more excited about next year when he will officially turn 21 and can legally drink alcohol.

"Legally, I should be able to drink on the 28th, but I'm expecting a bouncer to look at my license and tell me it's a fake," he said.

Duh! Got you there! 60 years and 20 years, that's their real age.
