Troops of 144 Battalion stationed at Ngwa High School,
Aba, Abia State have arrested a 30-year-old man
identified as Michael Alozie for allegedly conniving with
one Nneoma (not real name), an SS.1 student, to fake
her kidnap and demand a ransom from her parents.
Alozie, who claimed the student was his girlfriend, was
arrested in a hideout at Chokoneze, Mbaise, in Imo State
by a team of soldiers, who stormed the village after
investigations revealed that he held the victim hostage
in the area.
It was learnt that Alozie had earlier threatened the girl’s
parents through repeated calls and text messages,
demanding a ransom of N1.5m.
It gathered that during interrogation, Alozie claimed he
planned to marry the student and blamed his friend, now
at large, for sending threat messages to her parents,
demanding ransom.
The suspect also allegedly impregnated the student and
threatened to kill her if her parents failed to pay.
However, the parents who didn’t know that their
daughter agreed to her own kidnap and got pregnant for
the suspect, agreed to pay N1m as ransom.
While agreeing to pay the ransom, the parents alerted
soldiers who traced the suspect to their hideout at
Chokoneze, Mbaise, where the girl was also arrested.
A medical report made available to Southern City News
revealed that the student was confirmed to be five
months pregnant for her lover.
