Student, 16, fakes kidnap and demands ransom

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the police had reacted after a 16-year-old student had faked his kidnapping and demanded a N2 million ransom.

The Ebonyi police spokesperson, Joshua Ukandu, said the teenager was due to return to school for the third term on Saturday. He said the girl claimed she often dreams of being kidnapped, and her mother regularly prays against it.

The secondary school student claimed she had gone to buy second-hand clothes, known locally as ‘Okirika’, when someone tapped her from behind and she lost consciousness. According to the student, she woke up the next day at Ishieke Junction in Ebonyi Local Government Area.
