The police have arrested two suspects, Prince Atigbi and Princess Okolie, for their involvement in a fake kidnap scheme. The suspects were apprehended after collecting a ransom of N2 million from Princess Okolie’s parents.
According to the police, Prince Atigbi was arrested while collecting the ransom money. During interrogation, he claimed that he was not an actual kidnapper but was playing a script written by his girlfriend, Princess Okolie.
The police then arrested Princess Okolie, who confessed to faking her own kidnap. She revealed that her motive was to obtain money from her parents. The police have recovered the ransom money and are continuing their investigation.
The fake kidnap scheme was orchestrated by Princess Okolie, who allegedly wanted to extort money from her parents. Her boyfriend, Prince Atigbi, was recruited to play the role of the kidnapper.
The police have commended their efforts in foiling the fake kidnap scheme. The arrest of the two suspects serves as a warning to others who may be contemplating similar crimes.
The police are urging parents and guardians to be vigilant and verify the authenticity of any kidnap claims made by their children. They also advised against paying ransom money without first contacting the authorities.
The case is still under investigation, and the police are working to uncover any other individuals who may be involved in the scheme. The suspects will be charged to court once the investigation is complete.
The police have reassured the public that they are committed to combating crime and ensuring the safety of all citizens. They urged anyone with information about suspicious activities to come forward and assist the authorities.
