The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has said that the alleged kidnapped incident that took place at the River Park Estate in Abuja was false.

The Police added that it was a fake kidnap scene plan by one of the family member to defraud his brother who resides in the estate.

FCT, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) SP. Josephine Adeh, in a statement released on Saturday confirmed that the police have arrested the suspect who is undergoing interrogation in their custody.

“The FCT police Command is aware of the news making rounds about an alleged kidnapping incident at River Park estate in the early hours of today and wishes to state that contrary to reports, nobody was kidnapped in River Park Estate.

“One Nnandi Agu ‘m’ of Games Village only faked his own kidnap in an attempt to defraud his brother who lives within the said Estate.

“The suspect is currently in police custody undergoing interrogation.

“While investigation is still ongoing, further development would be communicated to the public,” Adeh said.
