Ameerah Safiyanu the Twitter user who raised false alarm that she had been kidnapped in Abuja, has been freed on bail by a Magistrate Court in Wuse, Abuja
@Ameerah_Sufyan was charged by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command for false kidnap alarm.
On June 14, she took to Twitter to state that she and others were abducted at gunpoint by “people with police uniforms and a van”
According to her, they were 17 hostages including 3 pregnant women and two kids.
Her alarm got the police in a frenzy as they immediately went in search of her and the other hostage
Ameerah was eventually found in a bush and later arrested when the her claims were found to be false.
She took to her Twitter handle to plead for forgiveness after she admitted everything she said about her kidnapped was a lie.
She added that nothing like such happened as it was just her imagination and negative thinking.
“Good day all, I would like to formally apologize to the general public, to the whole police department and my friends and family for misleading them with the below tweet, nothing of such happened and it was all just my delusions and negative thinking, I would also like to thank
“I intentionally took myself out of our house, went to these locations, entered bushes and dehydrated and starved myself for four days just like that, there was no kidnapping, nothing at all, I truly apologize and please pray for me”
She also pleaded with the public to pray for her while thanking the IG for helping her.
“Like to thank the IG and the CP babaji Sunday for helping me through this may God reward them abundantly.”
On Wednesday, June 29, the court granted her bail over mental health issues and sentenced her 12 months compulsory psychiatric care.
