<\/a><\/p>\nWhen the Police Inspector General Intelligent Response Team, IRT,<\/span> got to work, revealed her last known location to be somewhere in Nasarawa State. The<\/span> police initially detained this personnel, Danlami, following suspicions that sh<\/span>e f<\/span>aked her own kidnap to extort ransom from well-wishers to fund her wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n On April 18, Danlami had announced her engagement on Facebook, but the next day, reports of her abduction were made on a Facebook group she belonged to.<\/span><\/p>\n However, when the policewoman\u2019s family called her phone number, her supposed abductors said they didn\u2019t want money but just wanted to kill her.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSome of her friends in various social media groups started posting about raising funds for her, saying it would make her abductors free her,\u201d a source said.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDuring the fundraising exercise, there were dissenting voices who expressed doubts about the abduction story. Some of her colleagues said she had a history of criminal behavior; they said she was not truthful, not to be trusted, and that her lifestyle was wayward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n As efforts to secure her release intensified, Usman Baba-Alkali, the Inspector-General of Police, ordered the IRT to fish out Danlami\u2019s abductors.<\/span><\/p>\n When the IRT got to work, they revealed her last known location to be somewhere in Nasarawa State. Danlami would suddenly appear on Saturday, claiming she escaped from the kidnappers\u2019 den where she was molested.<\/span><\/p>\n She was reported to have insisted on returning to work as though nothing happened, to the surprise of those around her, consequently raising suspicion from the Force Headquarters.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe all thought that if she was kidnapped and molested in addition, the first thing for her to do was go to a hospital for examination and possible treatment, not to show up at work straightaway,\u201d said the source.<\/span><\/p>\n Danlami went to work, and the IRT detained her as they continued their investigation into the matter.<\/span><\/p>\n An audio by a policewoman who, in addition to knowing Danlami, helped with the fundraising accused her of causing her discomfort during the supposed kidnap, only to turn out it was staged.<\/span><\/p>\n She said, \u201cSee suffer wey I suffer. Do you know that the kidnappers called; they are not kidnappers. It is set up, this girl just set it up; she needs money. That girl is wicked, see the wey I just de cry since.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The IRT eventually released Danlami on Tuesday, according to the source, but the circumstances of her release remain unknown.<\/span><\/p>\n CERTAINLY, Good journalism costs a lot of money.
