Wife Kidnaps Her Own Kids, Demands Ransom From Husband

Money and its problems! The Rivers State Police Command has arrested a woman, Mrs. Abigail Brown, for kidnapping her own children (two of them) to get ransom money from her husband.

Brown and her husband’s former driver, identified as ThankGod, were said to have kidnapped Abigail’s two kids and called the husband to pay a ransom to secure their release.


Abigail initially denied the allegation against her, but later confessed to the shameful act.

She told Punch that it was frustration that made her to commit the crime, adding that she had no means of survival. She claimed that her husband had abandoned her and the two children to suffer, adding that the kidnap was the only means of making some money from her husband.

It was gathered that the suspect had abducted her two children, aged two and 10 respectively, and hid them in her sister’s place. She was awaiting ransom from the husband before she was apprehended by police.

She said, “I did it because of frustration. My husband abandoned me and my children. Since he left us and went away, I have been suffering with my children, and I know that he has money.

“I only did it to make him bring money for me to take care of the children we had together.”

The wife and her accomplice had demanded N6m as ransom to secure the release of the two children.

She said, “I did not demand up to that amount, but I demanded money from my husband.”

ThankGod, the former driver to the woman’s husband, who accepted taking part in the act, said his former boss’ wife contacted him.

ThankGod said, “She called me to help her. She told me to take the two children to her sister’s place. That is how I got involved. She used me to act as the kidnapper of the two children before we were arrested. She lured me into it.”

People are begging the husband to forgive his wife so she would not be charged to court for kidnapping.
