A lady, identified as Ameerah Sufyan, who raised the alarm
about her alleged kidnap via Twitter last Tuesday has tendered an apology for
faking the incident.
Recall that Ameerah alleged on
Twitter that she and other 16 victims were abducted at gunpoint from different
parts of Abuja by men in police uniforms and a van.
“Please whoever has my WhatsApp number, I sent a broadcast
message of my location,” she wrote via her Twitter handle, @ameerah_sufyan.
She added that she was kidnapped alongside pregnant women and children from various locations in Abuja.
These claims were, however, debunked by the Federal Capital
Territory Police Command who found her three days after she raised the alarm.
The statement released on Friday read, “The Federal Capital
Territory Police Command wishes to categorically debunk the viral news of the
alleged kidnapping of one Safiyanu Amira and seventeen (17) others who were
reportedly abducted at gunpoint by Armed men in Police uniform on Tuesday 14th
June 2022 at about 1:00 pm and to state that Safiyanu Amira is currently safe
in Police custody.
“While she is
currently in the hospital receiving medical attention as demanded by global
best practices, the investigation continues and findings will be communicated
subsequently.”
Quoting her earlier tweet where she raised the alarm,
Ameerah stated on Monday that the events that unfolded were results of her
“delusions and negative thinking.”
She also expressed gratitude to the members of the Nigerian
Police Force for their help and asked people to pray for her.
She tweeted, “Good day all, I would like to formally
apologise to the general public, to the whole police department and my friends
and family for misleading them with the below tweet. Nothing of such happened
and it was all just my delusions and negative thinking.
“I intentionally took myself out of our house, went to these
locations, entered bushes and dehydrated and starved myself for four days just
like that. There was no kidnapping, nothing at all. I truly apologise and please
pray for me. I need it.
“I would like to thank the IG and the CP Babaji Sunday for
helping me through this. May God reward them abundantly.”
