NJ wife of celebrity scammer charged in kidnapping of critic
The 21-year-old wife of an Instagram personality in North Jersey has been accused of taking part in a kidnapping scheme involving one of her husband’s critics.
Joumana Danoun, of Paterson, was charged with conspiracy to commit kidnapping, witness tampering and bribery, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella announced.
Danoun’s husband, Jebara Igbara, also known on social media as “Jay Manzini,” was arrested and charged with kidnapping and related offenses this past spring — along with several other people.
The victim was physically assaulted, threatened with a machete and whipped with a cord-like object, Musella said.
