A married woman identified as Oluchi has been found in a hotel in Delta State with another male lover after she faked her abduction and demanded N50 million from her family.
Penpushing reports that the Canada resident daughter of the woman and other children had earlier ignorantly pleaded with the public to help them raise money even as the kidnappers reduced the ransom to N20million.
The ignorant children told the police that their mother was kidnapped at the Ikpoba Hill area of Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of Edo State, however, the police investigation led its crack team to Delta State, where the supposedly kidnapped woman was found with her lover in a hotel.
“Police traced the number of the man to a hotel in Ubiaroko, Delta State. They met the man and the kidnapped woman inside a hotel. They called the husband, and he was happy. It was at the station that the police broke the news to him. The wife begged the husband not to tell her children what actually transpired’, a source said
Penpushing further reports that the daughter of the woman identified as Anita in an online video, expressed disappointment on the conduct of their mother, stressing that her mum’s action has shattered the family.
The lady vowed that the family would allow the law to take its course, emphasizing that the conduct of her mother was unfortunate and that she was short of words, adding that the law will 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? she lamented
“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’, the lady added.
“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.”
Penpushing also reports that, a social club, Harmony Ladies Club which Anita belongs to, in a statement on its WhatsApp group and forwarded to journalists, dissociated itself from the staged kidnapping, and expressed deep disappointment, shock, and embarrassment at her actions.
“When news of her alleged abduction broke, the club acted swiftly in good faith. Out of sisterhood, love, and a sense of community responsibility, we rallied immediately’, the statement read.
“Our members provided extensive emotional, logistical, and financial support during what we believed was a life-threatening crisis, carrying the heavy burden of anxiety alongside her family. It is with a profound sense of betrayal that we have now discovered, through investigations, that the entire kidnapping incident was staged by Mrs. Oluchi herself’, it added
Penpushing reports that Edo State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Eno Ikoedem, confirmed the incident adding that four persons have been arrested in connection with the incident.
