Nigeria, We Hail Thee. A popular saying in Nigeria has it that “Warri No Dey Carry Last. Instead, The Game Go End For Draw”.

It is in line with such a belief that a man conjured a plan to dupe his brother to the tune of 60 Million Naira and decided that the best way to carry out this act of atrocity was by “kidnapping himself”. Yes, you read that right – “Kidnapping Himself”. Well, here below is the full gist.

A certain Ufom Udoh has been arrested by the Lagos Police Command for allegedly “kidnapping himself” as a plot to defraud his senior brother to the tune of #60 million with the help of a friend of his.

The Lagos State Police command’s Spokesman, Olarinde Famous-Cole, confirmed the arrest to journalists. He informed the press men that on July 3, one Victor Udoh reported to the command that his younger brother, Ufom Udoh, was kidnapped by unknown persons at Liverpool in Apapa area of Lagos state.

In response to this, the State Command’s Anti-Kidnapping Squad, quickly swung into action and traced calls the complainant received on his phone and this led to the arrest of one Paul Okiemute, who had reported the case at the work place of the supposed victim.

Olarinde Famous-Cole further told press men that “Okiemute, upon questioning, confessed that Udoh staged his own kidnap to collect money from his elder brother, to solve his financial problems.

“Udoh was not kidnapped at all. It was all a planned attempt to stage his own kidnap, so that he can be paid a N60 million ransom by his elder brother.

“The suspect said he made calls to the victim’s elder brother with an unknown number, demanding a ransom of N60 million. Ufom Edet Udoh was later picked up and he confessed to the crime.

“He confessed to have checked into a hotel at Iyana-Ipaja area on July 3, where he spent three nights without food and water, hoping to cash the money,”

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Fatai Owoseni, has ordered that the suspects should be immediately charged to court, “to serve as a deterrent to others who may want to cause a breach of the peace in Lagos State.”
