The Niger State Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old
mother of two identified as Hassan Bala of Usuba for the attempted kidnap of
one Umar Sarkin Turaku of Kawo village in Kontagora Local Government Area of
the state.
Hassan who was arrested after a tip-off, joined the
kidnapping business following a seperation from her husband. She reportedly
planned to abduct Turaku on February 19, 2020, but her prospective victim
reported the incident to the police before the plan was perfected.
Turaku reportedly
filed a complaint with the police after receiving threatening phone calls,
asking him to pay a ransom of N5million or risk being kidnapped.
Confessing to the
crime, the mother of two said;
“After separating
from my husband, I got a man friend who introduced me to this business, and
that was how I started ruining my life because of money. I am a disgrace to
womanhood. Since I left my husband, my life and situation have worsened. Life
is not fair to me in all standards. It is unfortunate. I regret my action; my
family, children and friends will definitely desert me, but I pray they find a
place in their hearts to forgive me.”
Niger State Police spokesman, Muhammad Abubakar told newsmen
that the suspect who has already confessed to the crime will be charged to
court after the conclusion of investigation.
