Ogun who narrated her ordeal said her husband, who has dual citizenship of Nigeria and the US, worked for the stock exchange and that the whole thing started like a joke. She revealed that she hid in a hotel at Imalefalafia area of Ibadan.Oyo State

“I just woke up one day and thought of a way to make my husband see reason why he should use his American citizen status to take me out of the country. It all started like a child’s play. I told my supposed abductors to tell my husband that the ransom was N10m although I knew he would not be able to pay such money. He is just a salary earner. I lodged myself in a hotel and I was there for two days. I went back home on the third day and no ransom was paid.”

 

Adepoju who happens to be the cousin of Ogun’s US based husband said:

“She called me and said she wanted to stage her kidnap. She said she wanted to scare her husband with it so that he would see a reason why it was necessary for him to take her abroad. We did not collect any money from the husband and we did not use any weapon in the operation. I was arrested a day after we kidnapped her.”

The couple has been married for six years and are blessed with two children
