A 23-year-old man identified as Edward Okache was on October 10 arrested alongside four others namely Asamoah Ernest, Isiah Uti, Ephraim Anyijor, and charity Lukpata for faking his own kidnap.

The two suspects found with him were promptly arrested, while the victim was rescued.  But on getting to the station, the two arrested suspects made a shocking revelation that the so called victim was the person who planned with them to kidnap him in order for him to extort money from his parents to invest on an online business.

They stated further that the so called victim was introduced to them by Ephraim Anyijor and Charity Lukpata who are from the same Yala local government area of crossriver as the victim, and that they all are all part of the planned kidnap of Edward Ochace. 

Their confession led to the arrest of Ephraim Anyijor and charity Lukpata. They have all confessed to the commission of the crime.'' SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, spokesperson of the state police command, said

 
Oyeyemi added that the state Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has directed that the suspects be transferred to the anti-kidnapping unit of the state Criminal Investigation Departments for further investigation and possible prosecution.
