Oluchi, a married woman who pretended to be abducted and sought N50 million from her family, was discovered in a hotel in Delta State.
Even as the kidnappers lowered the ransom to N20 million, the woman's children, including her daughter in Canada, begged the public to assist them in raising money.
They had reported to the police that their mother had been abducted in the Ikpoba Hill region of Edo State's Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area.
However, the police inquiry took its crack team to Delta State, where they discovered the allegedly abducted woman in a motel with her lover.
Police linked the man's number to a hotel in Ubiaroko, Delta State, according to a source. Inside a motel, they encountered the man and the abducted woman. The husband was pleased when they called him.
The cops told him the news when he was at the station. The wife pleaded with her husband to keep what really happened a secret from her kids. Anita, her Canadian daughter, said in an internet video that her mother's behavior had destroyed the family. She promised that the family will let the legal system handle things. "My mum has been released," she said.
"My mum has been released," she said. This kidnapping case involves my mother. My actions were solely motivated by my desire to save my mother. The family is stunned. This is incorrect. My family has been destroyed by this. There are some health problems with my dad. This is really regrettable. What went wrong?
According to her, “My mum has been released. My mum is involved in this kidnapping case. I only did what I did to save my mom. The family is in shock. This is not right. This has shattered my family. My dad has some health issues. This is so unfortunate. What did I do wrong?
“My reputation has been ruined. I am short of words. I am so mad. I have no hand in this. I never knew. I only wanted my mother back home. The law will take its course. I am sorry this is happening. I only did what any daughter would do. My family has been shattered.
We were called that my mum has been released. We didn’t pay the kidnappers. The money is intact. We are going to make a refund. We involved the Police from the beginning. We now know it was not a real kidnapping. They said my mom is involved. They are having a relationship. The guy was traced. They had agreed to take what we already raised to N20m.”
Anita's social organization, the Harmony Ladies organization, distanced itself from the fake kidnapping in a statement sent to journalists via its WhatsApp group.
It conveyed how deeply disappointed, shocked, and ashamed it was of Mrs. Oluchi's behavior.
"The club acted swiftly in good faith when news of her alleged abduction broke," the statement said. We immediately came together out of love, sisterhood, and a sense of civic duty.
"Our members carried the heavy burden of anxiety alongside her family during what we believed to be a life-threatening crisis, providing extensive emotional, logistical, and financial support."
“It is with a profound sense of betrayal that we have now discovered, through investigations, that the entire kidnapping incident was staged by Mrs. Oluchi herself.”
Edo Police spokesman, Eno Ikoedem, verified the event and said four persons have been arrested in connection with the incident. She said, “I can confirm the incident and also let you know that four people have also been arrested in connection with the incident.”
