KOGI STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENT ARRESTED FOR IMPERSONATING KIDNAPPERS

Odo Sebastine , a 200-level student in a Kogi State University, is being held by the Lagos State Police Command, after he impersonated a kidnapper of Toyin , the wife of The Sun Newspaper's Deputy Director, Mr. Steve Nwosu.

According to Punch, Sebastine said on Tuesday at the police command headquarters, Ikeja, that he pretended to be one of the kidnappers and put a call across to the victim’s family so as to extort some money from the family.

They realised Sebastine’s call was not genuine when the real gang placed a call to demand a N100m ransom later in the day. He added that the police were, however, extracting useful information from the suspect.
