The suspects, Princess and Prince
The Delta State Police Command has arrested a young couple, identified as Princess and Prince, for orchestrating a fake kidnapping to extort N2,000,000 from the girl’s family.
This was disclosed in a statement by the State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, on Wednesday.
