Kennyswag: 8:34pm On Mar 11

Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a couple identified as Emmanuel and Mmesoma Okafor for allegedly kidnapping an online vendor.

Spokesperson for the command, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, who disclosed this during a press briefing on Monday, March 10, 2025, said the couple abducted the victim when she went to deliver a product in the Iyana Ishashi area of the state.

According to him, the incident was reported on Sunday, March 9, by the victim, who narrated how the couple str!pped her n@ked, assaulted her and took her nude pictures.

Hundeyin added that the couple demanded a ransom of N2 million, threatening to leak the images if she failed to comply.

“The victim received a request for a product and proceeded to the customer’s house in Iyana Ishashi. Upon arrival, the door was opened, and she was forcibly dragged inside by a man and a woman,” the PPRO added.

“The suspects were later identified as Emmanuel and Mmesoma Okafor. After dragging her into the house, they stripped her naked, beat her up, took her nude picture and asked her to pay N2 million naira or they leak the picture.”

The police spokesman further disclosed that the victim managed to pay N300,000 on the spot before she was allowed to regain her freedom, while the couple threatened to release the pictures if she failed to pay the balance.

Hundeyin said the victim reported the incident to the police, leading to an immediate investigation.

“The suspects were tracked and arrested. They are currently in police custody as investigations continue,” he added.

How on earth did they think they're getting away with such a heinous crime? Unfortunately for them, life imprisonment is the penalty for kidnapping in Lagos. They have reached the end point in their criminality.

How else do you define ethic and sectarian bigotry, hate and racism then with this comment!

People from your tribe and ethnicity are saints and everyone from Agulu are criminals.

How Nigeria is not in a civil war is simply a miracle because there’s so much hate in bones of Nigerians. Hatred fuelled by divisive politics and propagandas like this.

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves!
