The Nigeria Police Force have arrested 36-year-old mother of three for allegedly masterminding her kidnapping.
The woman, identified as Chizoba Ogbonna, was arrested with two others, Uche Anthony and Joseph Ezema, who allegedly assisted her to mastermind her kidnap, as well as negotiate for a ransom.
It was gathered that the Chizoba and her accomplices contacted her (Chizoba) relatives to demand a ransom of N2 million ransom.
The relatives consequently contacted the police.
The Inspector General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team (IRT), headed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, swung into action and after much investigation, trailed Ogbonna and her kidnappers to an uncompleted building at Agborji community in Abriba-Ohafia area of the state with the intention of rescuing her and arresting her kidnappers.
They were, however, left in shock when they arrived the hideout and discovered that Ogbonna was having an affair with one of her supposed kidnappers, John Ezema, and her abduction was staged to extort money from her relatives, which she intended using to travel out of the country with her boyfriend.
