The two stories that caught my attention this morning...
KIDNAP

The 24-year-old daughter of Hon. Edionwele, representing Esan Constituency,  Edo State, Jessica, was found with her boyfriend in Lugbe, an outskirt of Federal Capital Territory,  Abuja, Sunday evening by policemen from the command.

Jessica, last Wednesday was reported to have left Ibadan, Oyo State,  where she was serving, for Lagos to board an aircraft to Abuja. She was said to have landed Abuja safely but took an airport taxi that drove her away to an unknown destination.

While family and friends were terribly worried for what would have befallen the young lady, she allegedly gave her father’s telephone number to her ‘abductor’, who claimed that if the honourable wanted her daughter back alive should pay a ransom.

According to report, Jessica collaborated with her boyfriend to extort money from her father by feigning abduction,  they both agreed to get money from the honourable through the story of kidnap.
