Man reports his accomplices to police for defrauding him after orchestrating his own kidnapping for a N1 million ransom.

Israel Emmanuel has been detained by police in Adamawa State after planning his own kidnapping to force his father to pay a N1 million ransom.

According to reports, Israel ran into trouble after telling the police that his accomplices had received N1 million from his father while telling him that his father had only given N500,000.

Fartaci Kucol and Zakka Nuh, both from Mubi North LGA in northern Adamawa, the other two conspirators who were also apprehended, similarly confessed to the crime.

They said that Israel was held captive for six days in the remote village of Muvur, part of the Mubi North LGA, and then for two more days in the Mubi metropolis before the ransom was paid. Abdullhamid Mohammed, a third conspirator, is still at large.

According to reports, after receiving N1 million as ransom, Zakka and Fartaci claimed that Israel’s father had only paid N500,000 as ransom.
