An alleged fraudster who posed as the abductor of the child, Gold Kolawole, stolen from Sotitobire Miracle Centre in Akure, Ondo State, last November, has been arrested by the Ondo State Police Command.
Elike Chubize wanted to dupe the family of the missing child by posing as a kidnapper in custody of the child while demanding for N800,000 as ransom, the police said.
Efforts by the police and the State Security Services to unravel the mystery behind his disappearance had failed to yield results. While that was ongoing, PREMIUM TIMES gathered that Mr Chibuzor was trying to make some money from the situation, by posing as a kidnapper willing to release the child on the payment of the ransom.
He clarified that the man arrested was a self-acclaimed abductor of the child and was actually not the actual kidnapper.“What we have in our custody now is a self-confessed scammer and serial fraudster, one Chibuzor Elike,39years, of Etche town in Cross River, who wanted to take advantage of a bad situation to defraud the people,” said Mr Joseph.
