Lady connives with her boyfriend to fake her kidnap and demand N2m ransom from her parents (video)

The Delta state police command has arrested a 21-year-old girl identified as Princess Okolie and her boyfriend for staging her kidnap and demanding N2 million ransom from her parents.

A statement released by SP Edafe Bright, spokesperson of the command, says on January 2, 2025, the command received a complaint from one Mrs Okolie Joy that her daughter Princess Okolie left the house on December 30, 2024, and did not return. The distraught mum told the police that the next day, she received a call that her daughter had been kidnapped and they demanded a ransom of two million naira. 

‘’The Commissioner of Police CP Olufemi Abaniwonda immediately directed the command’s special Anti-kidnapping and cyber-crime squad to ensure that the victim was rescued unhurt and the suspect arrested. 

The commander of special Anti-Kidnapping and Cyber-Crime Squad CSP Labe Joseph detailed operatives who embarked on an intelligence-led investigation. The other suspect, Prince Atigbi, was arrested after collecting a ransom of two million naira (#2,000,000). Upon the arrest of the suspect, he stated that he was not an actual kidnapper but was playing the script of his girlfriend Princess Okolie. The girl was arrested, and she said that she faked her kidnap so that they could get money from her parent. Both suspects are in custody, the ransom money recovered and the investigation is ongoing.’

The Commissioner of Police urges parents and guardians to take the upbringing of their children seriously and in the ways of God so that when they grow up, they won’t be a problem to their parents and society. ‘’Edafe said
