A 17-year old boy, Daniel Akagbo, was arrested by the Delta State Police Command for allegedly arranging his kidnap and demanding a N20 million ransom from his wealthy father.
On September 10, the boy conspired with the supposed kidnappers to fake his abduction at Effurun, near Warri.
In line with the plot, he
was reportedly whisked to a shrine at Obiaruku, Ukwani Local Council of the
state by the gang members, from where they called the troubled father and broke
the news of his son’s ‘kidnap,’ and made demands for ransom.

They had initially
demanded for N50 million, but later reduced it to N20 million following
negotiations.
Their plot ultimately
failed when policemen from the state’s police anti-kidnapping unit stormed their
hideout and arrested one Governor Ejiro who was accused of having a hand in the
plot.
It was Ejiro who led the
policemen to the hideout where Daniel Akagbo and eight of his accomplices were
arrested.
According to the Delta
Police Public Relations officer, Mr. Charles Muka, the police are on the trail
of the at-large accomplices in the plot.
