Pregnant Woman Who Faked Kidnapping Found Safe In Kwara

Abeokuta, Ogun State– The Ogun State Police Command said on Monday that the reported abduction of a pregnant woman, Rahemat Lateef, was a fake Kidnap.

It was reported that Raheemat Lateef was kidnapped last week in Abeokuta, Ogun State. She was said to have been due for delivery and on her way to the State General Hospital, Ijaiye, Abeokuta, when she was allegedly abducted.

It was gathered that Mrs Lateef, distressed by repeated miscarriages, fabricated the kidnapping story as a way to cope with her frustrations.

The police spokesman, Omolola Odutola, on Monday, while giving an update on the incident, said Raheemat was found in Kwara State with her father. She stated that the command’s Anti- kidnapping unit had begun tracking her, till she showed up.

Odutola said: “Rahemat Lateef who the husband reported abducted, was never abducted, but planned her journey to Kwara State, to escape the wrath of her husband, because she has remained unlucky due to miscarriages.

“She planned the stories; she travelled to Kwara State herself, she was not kidnapped. She had a miscarriage, frustrated due to repeated reoccurrences, and feared her husband’s reaction, she orchestrated the script. The anti kidnapping team had started tracking her, till she showed up.

“She is under medical observation, and safe.”
