Children Arrange Kidnaps To Defraud Their Parents

There is a new trend in kidnapping in the Delta state, in which children conspire with kidnap syndicates to demand and collect ransom from their parents.
The commisisioner of police in the state, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, disclosed to Vanguard that “Brothers now plot and kidnap brothers in the state to extort money from their parents, while children set up their parents for kidnappers.”

According to him, “recently in the state, a kidnapped victim in Warri and all of them who kidnapped him, including an undergraduate, were found to be children of same parents. They stage-managed the kidnap to defraud their own father.

“When we told their father that there was an insider’s factor, he did not believe. It involved the entire family. He thought we were joking, but three of his sons were involved. Even the one kidnapped was part of the game. The man broke down when the facts unfolded before him.

“There was also a particular case in which a boy wanted to dupe his father of N30 million that he had been kidnapped. At the end of the day, we retrieved the boy in a native doctor’s place.”

My dear readers, this trend is really alarming.
