Identified as Seun Adekunle, a 17 year old girl has been arrested for faking her own kidnap with her boyfriend in Ogun State.
Seun was arrested alongside her boyfriend, Basit Olasunkanmi who is 25 years of age. Their arrest happened after her mother, Bukky Adekunle, filed a report at Enugada police division.
In the report which was made on the 4th of June 2020, she said that she sent her daughter to Lafenwa market since the 1st of June 2020 and she has not returned since then.
She stated further that she received a call from someone two days later who claimed to have kidnap the girl and demanding for the sum of N500,000 as ransom.
The woman said that the caller warned her not to make the mistake of reporting to the police if she still needs her daughter alive.
However, a technical and intelligence based investigation led the police to the hideout where the girl and her boyfriend were hiding and pretending to be with kidnappers.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the boyfriend, who is a butcher, was the one who brainwashed Seun and lured her into the plan because he needed money.
