The Kwara State commissioner of police, CP Kayode Egbetokun, said the suspect was arrested at Kulende, Sango, Ilorin, after she demanded for N5,000,000.

“She reduced the money to N1,000,000. Effort was intensified and N500,000 was arranged by her husband, as well as family and well wishers.

She directed them to take the money to Iluke town but she was arrested before the transaction could be effected. She would be arraigned in court soon,” the CP said.
