Reports from Delta State say a married woman identified as Oluchi has been found in a hotel in Delta State after faking her abduction and demanding N50 million from her family.
Before the heart-rendering discovery, her children, including her daughter in Canada, had raised an alarm and appealed to the public to help them raise N20 million ransom allegedly demanded by the kidnappers who they said was kidnapped at the Ikpoba Hill area of Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of Edo State.
Following investigation by the Delta State police crack team, the supposedly kidnapped woman was found with her lover in a hotel.
Reacting via an online video, her daughter, Anita, who is based in Canada, said her mum’s action has shattered the family and made it clear that the family would allow the law to take its course.
“My mum has been released. My mum is involved in this kidnapping case. I only did what I did to save my mom. The family is in shock. This is not right. This has shattered my family. My dad has some health issues. This is so unfortunate. What did I do wrong?
“My reputation has been ruined. I am short of words. I am so mad. I have no hand in this. I never knew. I only wanted my mother back home. The law will take its course. I am sorry this is happening. I only did what any daughter would do. My family has been shattered.
“We were called that my mum has been released. We didn’t pay the kidnappers. The money is intact. We are going to make a refund. We involved the Police from the beginning. We now know it was not a real kidnapping. They said my mom is involved. They are having a relationship. The guy was traced. They had agreed to take what we already raised to N20m,” Anita lamented.
Meanwhile, Edo Police spokesman, Eno Ikoedem, has confirmed the incident, disclosing that four persons have been arrested in connection with the incident.
