So many things are happening in Nigeria of late, and sadly many of them are later blamed on the hardship rocking the country. Unfortunately, some are just evidences of the love for money.
Now, so many people use the hardship as an excuse to execute their evil plans.
While Nigerians pray with all their hearts for the insecurity to come to an end, a woman in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), identified as Rosemary Ubah, only saw an opportunity to cash out.
Now, she has landed herself in police custody.
Rosemary was apprehended by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police for faking her own kidnap.
What’s worse, Rosemary was pregnant even as she carried out this deadly act.
Fake Kidnap
She conspired with one Walter Ezeala to fake her own kidnap.
In that manner, she was able to collect a ransom of 2 million Naira from her husband.
The FCT Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igweh, disclosed this on Wednesday while parading the suspects at the Command’s headquarters.
Igweh told reporters that the two suspects were nabbed on March 11 after Rosemary’s husband, Chiedozie Ubah, reported to Gwagwa Police Division that his pregnant wife who left home for a scan, failed to return.
He said Chiedozie later received a call through his wife’s phone number telling him that she has been kidnapped.
The caller demanded for ₦2 million ransom for her release.

Igweh said, “He transferred the sum of two (2) million naira into his wife’s account as instructed by the kidnapper.
But the man suspected a faul play.
