Ebonyi State Police Command says a 16-year-old SS2 student at a private secondary school in Abakaliki has faked her own kidnapping.
The command said that the teenage girl allegedly contacted a family member claiming she had been kidnapped and demanded a ransom of N2 million for her release.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Joshua Ukandu, told reporters on Monday that a family friend helped her plan the hoax.
Ukandu said the girl attends a privately-owned school located on Watchman Street in Abakaliki.
Recall that the girl is a native of Izzi Local Government Area and was due to return to school for the third term on Saturday.
The girl told police she had gone to buy second-hand clothes, known locally as ‘Okirika’, when someone tapped her from behind.
She claimed to have lost consciousness and woke up the next day at Ishieke Junction in Ebonyi Local Government Area.
