Why I faked my own kidnap, 24-year-old teacher confesses
Tunde Oyekola Ilorin
A 24-year-old lady teacher, Medinat Ibrahim, who allegedly faked her own kidnap in the Olude, Oke-Fomo area, Ilorin, Kwara State last Saturday said she committed the crime to raise money to settle debt which accrued from the monthly contribution in her place of work.
Medinat, who was paraded alongside two other suspects – Amudalat Wahab (30) and Hammed Lekan (28) – by the Kwara State Police Command on Wednesday, said she decided to commit the offence as a result of frustration and stoppage of her salary by her employer following the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.
