Court Frees Lady Ameerah Who Faked Her Kidnap
Ameerah Safiyanu has been granted bail by the Magistrate Court in Wuse, Abuja.
The Twitter user was charged by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command for false kidnap alarm.
Ameerah was arrested on June 17 after days of search amid Nigerians’ condemnation of the government and security agencies over worsening insecurity.
The citizen claimed that she and 16 other residents of Abuja were kidnapped at gunpoint and taken to a forest.
On June 14, Ameerah alleged that the victims, including three pregnant women and two children, were abducted by men in police uniforms.
On Wednesday, the court granted the defendant bail over mental health issues. (Daily Sun)
