Edo State Police arrest two men accused of staging a fake kidnapping to extort money from the family of one of the suspects. According to reports from multiple outlets, the case involves Lucky Alabi, 48, and Taiye Enahoro, 37, both from Uneme Akpama Community. The police say the men allegedly orchestrate the “self-kidnap” scheme in which a kidnapping is fabricated to pressure family members into paying a ransom. Multiple sources report that the amount demanded is N4 million. The arrests are made by operatives attached to the Igarra Division, following investigation into the incident. The reports describe the scheme as an attempt to obtain money through deception rather than a genuine kidnapping. Police are yet to provide additional details in the published accounts on charges filed, the exact sequence of events that led to the arrest, or whether any part of the demanded ransom was paid. The police action is presented as part of efforts to combat kidnapping-related scams and fraud.
