“I did it to test my sister’s love” – Lady arrested for staging her own kidnap says

Ayakpa, who is a hairstylist, is said to have conspired with one Fidelis Ikule, to stage her kidnap.

According to her, she did it to extort N20, 000 from her sister because her hairstyling business was no longer doing well due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Ayakpa, a native of Benue state and Fidelis, were arrested after the police traced the calls they were making for the ransom to Fidelis’s house in Mashafa Village, Mpape, Abuja, where they were holding up.
