The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command on Saturday, said the alleged kidnap in River Park Estate in Abuja, is false.
TOP MEDIA reports that the police said what happened was a case of a brother faking his kidnap to defraud his family.
Josephine Adeh, the Spokesperson of the FCT Police Command, said in a statement:
“The FCT police Command is aware of the news making rounds about an alleged kidnapping incident at River Park estate in the early hours of today and wishes to state that contrary to reports, nobody was kidnapped in River Park Estate.
“One Nnandi Agu ‘m’ of Games Village only faked his own kidnap in an attempt to defraud his brother who lives within the said Estate.
“The suspect is currently in police custody undergoing interrogation.
“While investigation is still ongoing, further development would be communicated to the public.”
TOP MEDIA reports that rising insecurity, kidnapping, and incessant attacks by bandits have been observed in the past few weeks in Nigeria, particularly Abuja, the nation’s capital city.
