Micheal Duda, a 24 year old man, has said that he kidnapped his
teenage girlfriend identified as Victory Aseguah with the intention of
raising money for their wedding.According to The Nation, Micheal was paraded alongside 104 suspects
arrested for various crimes ranging from kidnapping, rape, armed
robbery and cultism at the headquarters of the Edo Police Command.
He said the girlfriend just finished secondary school and there was
no way he could approached the parents that he want to marry their
daughter.
Speaking to newsmen Thursday, Micheal said he kept the girl in his
house for four days and asked her father to pay him the sum of N2m.
Micheal who said he sells dispensable cups admitted that he had sex
with the girl all through the four days the girl spent in his house.
“I live at Ekae community off Sapele road. She came to my
house. We planned to collect money from her father to raise money for
our marriage but I did not collect the money again. She stayed in my
house for four days.
“I couldn’t tell the father I want to marry his daughter. She
said her father would not support the idea because she was yet to go to
the university. She was with me for four days. The man said he has no
money to pay. I was at home with the girl when police came and arrested
me.”
But Victory who was present at the parade said they met on facebook and after several days, she decided to visit him.
Victory said she was surprised that the boy kidnapped her when she
got there and heard that the boy demanded for N4m from her father.
Elder sister of Victory, Rodha, said her sister was sexually abused before the police rescued her.
On the alleged plans to get married, she laughed saying, “My
sister is 16 years old and has never slept outside before. She told me
they met on facebook and the boy professed love to her. When she went to
the house, she said the boy hatched the plan and said he would collect
N10,000 from our father but the boy demanded for N4m.
“He will lock her inside the house and called us threatening
that he will kill her if we did not pay. He took advantage of my
sister’s condition.”
“She told me the boy is 21 and a student but she later saw that it was a lie. We took her for treatment after the rescue.”
Also, three suspects that allegedly killed Prof. Paul Otasowie of
the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering in the
University of Benin were paraded.

They said he was mistakenly shot when he rushed at Osaze who was holding the gun.
According to Osaze, “We decided to go for street robbery when
we saw a vehicle driving out, so we decided to collect the car. I asked
the man to give me the car keys but he threw the keys away. I shot into
the air. As I was loading another bullet, the man embraced me and during
the struggle, the gun exploded.”
