The Delta State Police Command has arrested a 27-year-old Merit Alice, for allegedly faking her own kidnap after spending N3.6 million meant for a business transaction on her bridal shower and hotel accommodation for friends.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, Alice conspired with two accomplices to stage her abduction after her brother began demanding a refund of the money he had given her to purchase a tricycle.
The incident occurred on July 20 when Alice told her husband she was stepping out, only for the family to later receive information that she had been kidnapped.
The kidnappers demanded a ransom of N3 million, which was subsequently paid by Alice’s husband and family.
The police, through the Special Anti-Kidnapping and Cybercrime Squad, commenced an investigation and eventually arrested one of the suspects, who confessed and revealed the plot.
Alice later admitted to the crime, stating that she used the N3.6 million to fund her bridal shower and lodge her friends during her wedding in March.
She also confessed to withdrawing N2.5 million from a POS agent and giving N500,000 to her accomplices.
She identified one of the accomplices, Peter, as a security guard at her former workplace. Alice cited pressure from her brother to return the money as the reason for orchestrating the fake kidnapping.

ReplyDeleteWho sent her to do bridal shower?
ReplyDeleteLook at this embarrassment that she will have to live with for the rest of her life. Tell them to do budget and live according to their means they refuse. If you even marry in a cave with only the bats, bear and snakes to witness it, na same married. Who went to registry na same married, who did theirs in their living room na same married. Is not by size or grandeur that a marriage is recognized.
