Police in Akwa Ibom rescued four kidnap victims in the last one month. One of them is a woman who faked her own abduction.
They also arrested 52 suspects for various crimes.
Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Waheed Ayilara, told journalists in Uyo on Friday that some of the crimes were murder, kidnap, armed robbery, child trafficking, cultism and fraud.
He said one of the kidnap “victims”, a female from Nung Oku village in Ibesikpo Asutan Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom actually arranged her own kidnap.
She thereafter demanded for N4m ransom, but was arrested by the police.
“A report was received on Monday from one Enobong Sampson that her sister had been kidnapped and that the kidnappers were demanding N4m as ransom.
“As a result, operatives of Anti-kidnapping Squad of the Command embarked on an intense and intelligence-driven operation to track down the kidnappers and rescue the victim
