A man has been arrested for allegedly kidnapping his older sister in Nigeria.
Egbo Nwanaka reportedly planned with a friend to abduct Ada Nwanaka expecting one of his relatives to pay ransom of more than N10mn (US$31,000) for her release.
Though the police said they did not immediately arrest Egbo, they were able to link the abduction of Ada, who is in her early 30s, to her younger brother after a series of investigations.
A Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Nnamdi Omoni, said that Egbo's friend, who took Ada to an unknown destination, was killed during a shootout.
Omoni explained that the victim was rescued in the bush where she was kept by Egbo's gang, who were waiting for ransom to be paid.
Egbo expressed regret over his actions.
