The Police Command in Lagos State says it has uncovered a staged kidnapping allegedly orchestrated by a scrap iron dealer and his accomplices.
The scrap dealer was said to have faked his kidnap, in a bid to fraudulently obtain the sum of N1.5 million from his employer.
The Commissioner of Police (CP), Mr Fatai Tijani, disclosed this on Tuesday while addressing journalists at the command’s headquarters in Ikeja.
He said one Abubakar reported the incident to the police on May 19, at about 10 p.m., that his brother, a scrap dealer, was missing.
