The Enugu State Police Command has described as false the kidnap alarm raised by a father, Mr. Frank Anioma, over his daughter, Kosisochukwu.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Ebere Amaraizu, said in a statement in Enugu that Anioma took to the social media to announce his daughter’s kidnap and also reported to the police.
Amaraizu said that the fake kidnap alarm was raised on Aug. 22 and the police operatives of the Anti-Kidnap Unit immediately moved into action.
He said that contrary to the fake social media hype Kosisochukwu was never abducted by anyone and that she willingly left their home.
He said that Anioma’s daughter went to the park at Holy Ghost without telling anyone and headed to Owerri where she met her boyfriend.
“According to her, both of them have been secondary school friends at Abakiliki but she needed to go see him following the prolonged school holiday.
“Kosisochukwu, 14, is going to SSS 1 if school reopens same with her boyfriend who hails from Owerri in Imo State,’’ the police spokesman said.
Amaraizu said that Kosisochukwu confessed that she was not abducted nor kidnapped as stated by her father.
