Teenager Fakes Kidnapping To Get Money For New Clothes
Because “drip is eternal”, a teenage boy faked his own kidnapping and demanded ransom money from his family to buy new clothes.
The 14-year-old Form Three student from Tharaka Nithi County staged the abduction on Tuesday, January 5, as he returned back to school.
On arrival in Nkubu town, the teenager chose a quiet spot and called his brother informing him that two bodaboda riders were holding him hostage inside Mount Kenya Forest. He said the supposed abductors were demanding Sh20,000 ransom to release him, failure to which, they would kill him.
