A 29 years old man, Segun Mafimidowo on Thursday confessed he faked his kidnap in order to get money from his parents.
Mafimidowo, who is one of the 42 suspected criminals paraded by the Ogun State Police command at its Eleweeran headquarters, Abeokuta, said, he connived with some of his friends to demand for a sum of N8 million ransom from his parents under the pretense that he had been kidnapped by some unknown gunmen in Sagamu area of the state.
The Ogun State command Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said,
Mafimidowo, also sent picture where he was tied on both hands to his parents.
“The purported abductors later sent an account number of one Ogbu Abraham in which he directed the parents to pay the ransom to, but the anti-kidnapping section of the command embarked on technical based investigation which led to where Segun Mafimidowo and his so-called abductors, who are all his friends were hiding and frolicking.
