The parents of the Mass Communications undergraduate of
the Delta State University, Abraka, Belynda Chinwe Bosa, who
planned her own kidnap with her boyfriend to obtain a
ransom of of N10 million from them, has disowned her,
saying she has always been a bad child who has repeatedly
brought pains and sorrow to them
The girl and her boyfriend, George Itietie, who were arrested
in Port Harcourt after they had received the sum of N500,000
from the distraught family, are currently being detained by
Delta Police Command, despite her regrets, will also have to
contend with her parents’ anger and abandonment.
The petrified parents who became distraught when it was
revealed to them that their beloved daughter was actually
behind the kidnap, promptly disowned her for putting them
through hell.
Bosa, a 300 level student, had told police officers in her
confession that she did what she did out of love and her
desire to marry Itietie but now, it seems all her plans for her
future has hit the rocks as her parents have vowed never to
have anything to do with her including her educational
pursuit or the man she was so smitten with love, meaning
that they will not support any marriage plans between them.
They implored the police to treat her and Itietie as criminals.
Bosa, crying profusely when her parents visited the police
station, said:
“I regret getting involved in this crime. Please forgive me,
daddy and mummy! I’m sorry for the stress I made you go
through!
George and I love each other. We decided to get married but had
no money to plan the wedding.
I decided to offer myself to be kidnapped by George so that we
could extort money from my parents for the wedding. If I’m given
the chance, I’ll still marry George.
But we didn’t envisage that it would go this way. I can’t just
explain what came over me.
I don’t know why I embarked on this shameful act.
I’ve embarrassed my parents and soiled my family name for
the sake of love. Can somebody please help me beg them to
forgive me?”
But her parents would have none of her tears and pleas,
saying she was only shedding crocodile tears.
On his part, Itietie did not believe that any plans for marriage
between them would work anymore.
“Even if Belynda’s parents allow me to marry her, will they
be able to obliterate the stigma from their hearts?”
Do you think Belynda’s parents are right in disowning her or
should they forgive their daughter after her apology?

The book of proverbs says: my child, do not bring worry to your mother nor cause her grief, for she bore you for nine months. Nw bak to your question, yes I suppport d action of the parents!
