A 19 year old Dorcas Adilewa, who planned her own kidnap to defraud her father, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command.
The News Agency of Nigeriareports that the suspect planned the kidnap in connivance with one Ifeoluwa Ogunbanjo, her friend, who provided location and a phone to contact her parents.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Imohimi Edgal, said that the suspects were arrested on July 13 following a report by the suspect’s father at Ketu Police Station.
“On July 7 at about 5 pm, Adilewa Taiwo of No. 3, Kosumi Lane, Bello-Ketu, Lagos, reported at Ketu Police Station that he received a call from phone number 09057432362.
“He was told that his daughter, Dorcas Adilewa, was being held hostage and that if he does not want her killed, he should pay a ransom of N600,000 to secure her release.
“Investigation into the case was immediately commenced and the above phone number that was used by the suspects was geo-located to Ijebu-Igbo area of Ogun State.
“The O/C Anti-Kidnapping led his operatives to Ijebu-Igbo on July 12 and combed the area in search of the supposed victim till the following morning.”
The commissioner said that while the search was ongoing at Ijebu-Igbo, the location of the supposed kidnappers changed to Ikotun in Lagos and the search party had to move from Ijebu-Igbo to Ikotun in Lagos to rescue the victim.“When the fake kidnappers realised that the Police were closing in on them, the supposed victim decided to call the complainant to inform him that she has been released, after she had deposited the sum of N8,000 in her UBA account number: 2087804991.
