Adoki alleged that Adedoyin had earlier reserved Protea Hotel, Ikeja , as accommodation for the victim while in Nigeria , but he was said to have deliberately moved her to another hotel in order to prevent the monitoring of Jackson by the embassy .

Adoki said , “ He ( Adedoyin ) said that his father was a former king of Ife Titun , Osun State and that he was the heir apparent to the throne . He further cajoled the victim that he owned several buildings in Lagos , including where Jackson was held hostage .

“ But the victim started to suspect a foul play when he was losing patience and said he rented the place , a ramshackle place that he had earlier claimed his father owned . ”
The prime suspect reportedly seized Jackson’ s passport , credit card and US identity card in order to prevent her possible escape.
“ Consequently , on November 26 , 2018 at about 0200 hours , Jackson was rescued from the captivity of these criminal elements , who are suspected to be Internet fraudsters and kidnappers . Jackson was held hostage at No . 7 Akanbi Street , Abule Egba , Ifako -Ijaiye Local Government Area of Lagos by one Mathew Adedoyin and his accomplice , Idowu Ayeni , ” Adoki added .

She said investigation would be intensified after which the suspects would be prosecuted in line with relevant laws .

Speaking to journalists while being paraded , Adedoyin , who claimed to be a real estate agent, denied abducting the victim or raping her .
He said that she asked him for sex , adding that the decision to come down to Nigeria was hers with the intention of getting married to him .
Adedoyin admitted that on her arrival in Lagos , he lodged her at Turn Up Hotel , but had to move her to his friend ’ s house pending when he would raise money for her return ticket to the US .

He also denied seizing the victim ’ s passport , saying that he only helped her to keep it safe after he realised that she was carefree with her bag containing her travel and other documents anytime they went out .

His accomplice , Ayeni , said he was uncomfortable when Adedoyin brought the victim to his house and had no concrete plans on when they intended to leave .
Ayeni , who said he works as a litigation officer in a law firm , denied knowing anything about his friend ’ s plans , adding that his involvement was to let them stay for a few days in his abode .
