The FCT Commissioner of Police, Ben Igweh has recounted how a woman was kidnapped by her husband after he discovered shw had N50 million in her account.
He revealed that the woman had a dispute with her husband after he made the discovery which prompted him to orchestrate her abduction.
Igweh stated that the husband intended to extort N40 million as ransom and had hired some individuals to carry out the kidnapping. He noted that both the husband and the accomplices have since been arrested.
In an interview with Channels TV, he remarked, “Some people can organize their kidnap and this is why kidnapping case can be very difficult. There was one that they called me that one woman was kidnapped in Lugbe. When we investigated the matter, we discovered that she had a problem with her husband.“
“The husband saw N50M in his wife’s account and he asked some boys to come and kidnap her. They kidnapped her and they were demanding for N40M as ransom. So in that case, what do we do? All of them are in jail now. Even though they are husband and wife, you can’t discharge them because it’s a criminal case. We get a lot of these cases like this.”
