The Lagos State Police Command, has dismissed reports that an American woman was hypnotized and ”held” by her suspected Yahoo boyfriend in the Badagry area of the state.
In a viral video on social media, some persons residing in the area claimed that the lady is an American who claimed she got into Nigeria from California three days ago and just returned to her senses this morning.
The State police spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated while debunking the claim said the Caucasian lady is a German, not American and the said man is her husband.
Hundeyin said the couple, who have been living in the neighbourhood since 2019 had a misunderstanding during which neighbours intervened and the police were invited. He said their dispute was resolved and the couple returned to their home.
According to the PPRO, the lady refused to allow the police to contact the German embassy on her behalf.
