Police in Enugu have arrested a woman that allegedly faked her own kidnap to demand a ransom from her husband.

Nancy Chukwu is accused of conspiring with a man to stage her abduction in Enugu and asking for 200,000 naira (£780; $1,250) ransom.

Mrs Chukwu, a housewife and trader, reportedly gave her husband’s phone number to her alleged accomplice— a commercial motorcyclist.

The man then called her husband and, pretending to be a kidnapper, demanded the money to be paid into an account if he wanted to see his wife again.

The woman is believed to have hidden herself with the man, waiting to get a positive response from the husband, Marcus Chukwu.

Rather than pay, he went to the police, who eventually traced the bank account to a friend of the motorcyclist.

Mrs Chukwu and the alleged accomplice were arrested, and a police spokesman later said they both confessed to the crime.

Gbam!
It's not as if she kidnapped herself to buy silver and gold
Let them release her Kia Kia
Her children need her

Hmm.

Person no get sense him dey form kidnapper, so they expected the man to just go and pay in money into an account like a mumu? Yeye people.

But e be like say the man sef stingy o.

Very stingy I say

It is entirely the man's fault
Her husband I mean
A man that cannot provide for his family causing her to resort to criminal means is worse than an infidel
It should be a punishable crime IMHO

And are you Joseph or nl prophet that you somehow happen to be magically sure that she couldn't be doing it for selfish reasons.
And even if the husband was stingy,was that the best solution to the probem.
TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT.

Ngwanu the money he should have given her before the kidnap
He will now use it and bail her out plus settle the police to close the case
See how daft some men can be
Now everybody in Nigeria knows what a terrible husband he is

200,000 pere, the husband must have been maltreating her

I am hoping Babyosisi's comments are based on sarcasm, if not, it is sad

Layolaw: 200,000 pere, the husband must have been maltreating her

Of course na
It is obvious

Layolaw: 200,000 pere, the husband must have been maltreating her

And what stopped her from leaving and getting on with her life? What made her result to crime?

.
if it was her husband that was arrested for a criminal act, would you say it was his greedy and over-demanding wife who pushed him into crime?
Are they your neighbours for you to know he's stingy? Here you're trying to paint this woman as a saint or are you capable of doing such?

Such double standard from some of you women is very sad. There are vile people, men and women.

If the man is stingy let her divorce him and look for a generous man instead. Resorting to such a vile act is not right.

what?

She is not a wife nor mother. I guess she should be ASEWO.
A bastard.
I time is come in the south-east, that Igbo people will cease going home because of kidnapper

Will you take care of their 5 kids?
Do you think it's easy to just up and leave
