The Ogun State Police Command has revealed that a pregnant woman, Rahemat Lateef, who claimed to have been kidnapped by unknown gunmen on her way to the delivery room, fabricated the story to avoid her husband’s wrath after suffering another miscarriage.

The police spokesperson, SP Omolola Odutola, disclosed this on her X handle on Monday, stating that Rahemat was said to have escaped to Kwara State and showed up back in Abeokuta with her father.

Rahemat’s husband, Ogunbunmi Lateef, had last Thursday claimed to have received a WhatsApp message notifying him of his wife’s kidnapping by some abductors.

However, Odutola said Rahemat was never abducted but instead planned her escape to Kwara State to escape her husband’s expected reaction to her miscarriage.

The police confirmed that the anti-kidnapping team tracked her down and that she is currently under medical attention and in safe custody.

Odutola, while giving updates on the incident, said, “Rahemat Lateef, who the husband reported abducted, was never abducted, but planned her journey to Kwara State, to escape the wrath of her husband, because she has remained unlucky due to miscarriages.

“She planned the stories, she travelled to Kwara State herself, she was far from kidnap. She had a miscarriage, was frustrated due to repeated recurrences, and feared her husband’s reactions, so she orchestrated the script. The anti-kidnapping team started tracking her, till she showed up.

“She is under medical attention, safe.”
