I’ve said it before. The way some young
girls of these days behave because of
money is totally wrong and if no one tells
them, most of them will just continue to
carry on thinking they are on the right
track.
A female student of Delta State
University, Belynda Chinwe Bosa, has
been arrested by the police in the
state for staging her own kidnap in a
desperate bid to extort money from her
parents.
Mrs Beatrice Bosa reported in December
that her daughter, Belynda, who resides
in Lagos, was travelling from Lagos to
Abraka in Delta State when she was
kidnapped along the way by unknown
gunmen.
She claimed her abductors were
demanding a ransom of N500,000.00 but
was surprised that her boyfriend and his
brother demanded N10million from her
parents. The boyfriend, who was also
arrested, confessed to the crime…
He claimed that he came from overseas
and that both of them wanted to use the
money to settle down – rent a flat, equip
it and use part of the money to start a
business in Nigeria. What was he doing
abroad?
Sequel to the report, operatives of
Special Anti-Kidnapping Squad, Asaba,
swung into action and arrested one
America Sunday Ogagawotu at Oyiobo,
Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, after
withdrawing the ransom money which
was paid into his Ecobank account in
Port-Harcourt.
Commissioner of Police, Delta State,
Alkali Baba Usman, when contacted by
Daily Independent revealed that the
victim, on leaving Lagos went to her
boyfriend, one George Itietie in Port-
Harcourt where she, her boyfriend and
America Sunday Ogagawatu planned to
inform her parents that she was
kidnapped so as to extort money from
them.
He further disclosed that the female
student, Belynda, got N100,000.00 as her
own share from the ransom of
N500,000.00 paid by her parents.
The trio of Belynda, Itietie
and Ogagawatu have confessed to the
crime.
Belynda’s parents are sad, they couldn’t
believe their “decent daughter” would be
involved in such mess.
