According to reports, detectives from the Lagos State Commissioner of Police Special Squad under Kehinde Oni’s leadership obtained crucial digital and electronic evidence regarding their plans for the operation; this led to revelations about details discussed during their conversation. The squad later engaged in a shootout with them, resulting in neutralization.
The detectives, strategically stationed by the state Commissioner of Police Mr. Adegoke Fayoade, observed that the hoodlums had arrived at the market without realizing they were under surveillance.
According to intelligence reports, the well-known Nollywood actor was engaged in a recorded phone conversation with an unidentified member of the gang who had been assigned to keep tabs on their target at the market.
The Igbo language conversation that was recorded in voice went as follows:
The actor asked about the distance he is currently from his destination and inquired which route leads to it, whether it’s via airport or 7/8.
“I’m not sure which road he’s taking. I am currently keeping an eye on him. Are you all still nearby or have you left? He has already gotten into his car and is in a rush.”
Actor: Your issue is that you never calculate things. You have a drinking problem, which will hinder your success in life. So, you were aware of the man’s whereabouts before and didn’t inform us? Keep on consuming alcohol – all I require from you are details about his movements. Once we succeed and give you your share, feel free to spend it all on drinks without any hassle. How many times did I reach out to you? We’re on our way now.
Member: I hope you’re not upset with me, please don’t be vexed. You understand how Ladipo can be at times.
Actor: Please be cautious when answering phone calls. Be very careful, okay?
“I am being careful while talking to you, but earlier you accused me of being drunk. I apologize for the misunderstanding and always make it a point to step aside whenever I receive your call. Biko (please) forgive me.”
Actor: No problem, just keep your phone still and observe the man closely. Inform me of any movements he makes.

The actor stated that they were currently en route and had arrived at Bucknor.
Member: Can you please inform me of your current location and the situation at hand? I am concerned about my proximity to the man who is still present. Presently, I am located in the market which will be closing soon. It’s imperative that we avoid drawing any unnecessary attention towards ourselves.
Further information surfaced revealing how Prince Ode – the deceased Nollywood actor had skillfully eluded capture and remained unseen by those around him while carrying out his kidnappings.
