A twitter user identified as Omotoyosi has presented herself to the Lagos State Police Command, Akoka division after raising false rape and kidnap alarm on Thursday morning on the microblogging and social networking service.
The state police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who disclosed this on Twitter said the lady has voluntarily presented herself at the police station and questioning is ongoing.
Recall that Omotoyosi had on Thursday tweeted that she had been kidnapped and getting raped with information (including phone number) of the said rapist with an actual location.
The police took over the case after the general public pounced on the alarm raised by the lady.
However, shortly after her tweet went viral, Toyosi came online to release a video where she said she was fine and is not being raped or kidnapped.
The police raided the said location Toyosi provided and arrested three guys who happened to live there but Toyosi was not found.
According to SP Benjamin, the police were at the location for over thirty minutes after well meaning Nigerians commendably showed concern.
Toyosi will be arraigned before a Lagos court, for disturbing public peace.
