Afolabi Ogunremi and Tohebat Adebayo after they were arrested by the police
A young teenage girl and the boyfriend who planned her own kidnap so as
to raise money for her birthday bash have been arrested by the police.
The Ogun state Police Command has arrested one Tohebat Adebayo for
simulating own kidnap in conspiracy with her boyfriend, Afolabi Ogunremi
( 30), according to The Nation.
It was gathered that the 20-year-old girl staged her own abduction to raise N200, 000 and fund her forthcoming birthday bash.
On the day of the planned kidnap, she reportedly left home for
Lafenwa market, Abeokuta, but never returned which prompted the parents
to go searching for her and later reported the case at the Lafenwa
Police Divisional Headquarters.
In a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola
Oyeyemi, said that an unknown man called the parents to inform them on
phone that their daughter has been kidnapped.
Abimbola added that the caller demanded the sum of N200, 000 as
Ransom from the girl’s parents to effect release from the kidnappers.
“Based on the report by the parents, the Divisiobal Police
Officer, kayode Ayilara, led detectives to an abandoned house inside
the Government Reservation Area where the girl was being kept.
“The discovery led to the arrest of Adebayo who happened to be the security man in the house.
“On interrogation, Adebayo claimed to be the boyfriend of the
girl and that they both planned to simulate her kidnap in order to raise
money for her forthcoming Birthday from the parents,” Abimbola said.
According the Police Image Maker in the state, the commissioner of
police, Ahmed iliyasu, has ordered that the case be transferred to the
Command’s anti-kidnapping and cultists for further investigation.
