HOUSE WIFE FAKES OWN KIDNAP TO EXTORT N15MILLION FROM HUSBAND

In her account, the suspect corroborated the police account of what happened, adding that she did it because her husband did not give her money despite being rich,confessing that, “I kept myself in place, no one kidnapped me’.

‘I did it because I needed money, I asked my husband for a sum of ₦500,000 but he refused. He has different companies and many houses here in Lagos and he doesn’t give me money,” she said.

The woman said despite being married to her husband for 27 years with four children between them, the husband was not taking good care of her, while one of the arrested suspects, Ahmed Kudus, said he did not take part in planning the fake kidnap but merely helped his brother, another suspect to make phone calls.

“I didn’t know Hadijat Kabir before, I met her when she came to meet my brother, Ahmed Lukman about five days ago. She mentioned that she wanted to take her child for treatment and I suggested a hospital but she said the situation of the child is beyond hospital matter and that she needed to go to an herbalist’,he said.

“Later, I heard my brother talking to someone on the phone demanding money, while Hadijat was crying in pretense. I helped by collecting the phone to tell the man to give them the money they asked for.”

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police said investigation into the case was still ongoing as the police are still working to arrest other fleeing suspects.”
