A 37-year-old woman, identified as Torkwase Queen Ayakpa, who was apprehended by men of the FCT police command for staging her own kidnap, revealed that she did it to find out if her sister loves her.
Ayakpa was one of 24 suspects paraded by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police command for various offenses on Wednesday, July 29.
Ayakpa, a hairstylist, conspired with one Fidelis Ikule, 36, to stage her kidnap — she confessed to the police that she also did it to extort N20, 000 from her sister because her hairstyling business was no longer doing well due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Ayakpa, a native of Benue state and Fidelis, were arrested after the police traced the calls they were making for the ransom to Fidelis’s house in Mashafa Village, Mpape, Abuja, where they were holing up.
