He did not deny it before the police. He said he did it through text message for a purpose. He said he did it because he wanted to re-buy his house back with N3 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe man claimed he decided to organise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/10\/30\/adamawa-teenager-kidnaps-self-collects-n1m-from-father\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">self-kidnap<\/a> because none of his brothers and sisters doing well and some living abroad are willing to assist him financially.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe claimed that if they hear of his kidnap with his wife, they would negotiate with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/04\/14\/14-year-old-boy-narrates-how-he-escaped-from-suspected-kidnappers-in-ondo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kidnappers<\/a> and pay the money,\u201d the spokesperson quoted the man as saying.<\/p>\n<p>The PPRO noted that the couple was still living in their house in Badagry when they sent out text messages of their kidnap to their relations, stressing that when police visited the house on Tuesday, they met the wife and three children.<\/p>\n<p>He said the police requested the woman to follow them to the police headquarters, Ikeja, but the woman pleaded with them to allow her to come the next day Wednesday, which was granted.<\/p>\n<p>Hundeyin said that the woman came to the station as promised and was arrested for self-kidnap, while the husband was arrested the following day Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe admitted that she supported her husband in the crime. She also admitted that her husband discussed the matter with her and she gave her approval because they never thought it will turn out negative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe woman claimed if the plan worked out, it would have been the easiest way to raise the money to buy back their house since her husband\u2019s brothers in the UK are not willing to help him,\u201d he quoted the woman\u2019s confession to the police.<\/p>\n<p>Hundeyin pointed out that the woman claimed to service an average of three clients for either bone setting or stroke massaging at the cost of about N150,000 per person depending on the condition of the patient, wondering why she could not gather such money for the project.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, said that the couple claimed they regretted their actions, appealing to their families and police for forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p>The image maker said that the suspects advised members of the public to avoid crime and never be interested in family or another people\u2019s wealth.<\/p>\n<p>He said the couple will be charge to court soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple (name withheld), husband, a 53-year-old technician, and wife, a 48-year-old body massager and bone setter have been arrested by the police in Lagos State over alleged self-kidnap for N5 million ransom.
