Monday, July 1, 2024 -A 19-year-old lady has been arrested for conniving with her boyfriend to kidnap an elderly man in Edo state.
Parading the suspect before newsmen, the
state Commissioner of Police, CP Funsho Adegboye, said the lady who claims to
be an undergraduate went with other members of the gang to the pastor's house
and tricked him into opening his gate after feigning she was crying and is a
wife to a member of his church.
‘’She was crying that she needed help from
the pastor that they should please open the gate for her and that she is the
wife of one of the church members. That is the lie she told the pastor. As soon
as the pastor opened the door for her, other members of the kidnapping group
hijacked the pastor at gunpoint and took the man away.''
The Commissioner cautioned parents to watch
their children and wards and monitor what they do and the kind of friendships
they keep.
‘’She saw
one of the suspects giving the gun to her boyfriend. According to her, it was
her boyfriend who lured her into this criminal activity. It is quite
unfortunate that a 19-year-old girl! People should be careful''.
When interrogated, the suspect feigned
ignorance of the crime and claimed she was forced to be part of the criminal
activity.
