Bayelsa State ‘big boy’, John Lyon, who is known for flaunting foreign currency on social media and advising his followers to “hustle”, has been arrested for alleged kidnapping in Abuja.
Gatekeepers News reports that the suspect nicknamed “Lion” is said to be a dreaded kidnap kingpin. He was reportedly traced from Bayelsa to Abuja where he was arrested.
In a now-viral video, Lyon was seen begging for mercy and claimed he has only kidnapped two people. He also begged to be set free because his wife just had a baby.
However, a victim of his kidnapping activities was heard accusing him of abducting him in a video, but he denied ever being part of his accuser’s abduction.
