A 200 level political science student of the Abia State University (ABSU) simply identified as Nnamdi has been arrested by the security personnel of the University for faking his own kidnap.
Information has it that Nnamdi had confessed after his arrest that he sent a text message to his friend around 3am on Thursday claiming that he has been kidnapped alongside other three students by 6 men carrying AK47 rifles to play prank on his friend.
The 200 political science student claimed that he had no criminal intention in engaging in such act and appealed for forgiveness for the pains caused the University as a result of such act.
It was gathered that a friend of the suspect and 300 level Mass Communication student; Faith Godson upon receiving a text message from Nnamdi that he had been kidnapped immediately alerted the University security which swung into action and arrested Nnamdi who was hiding in his lodge off the University campus.
Confirming the incident, the chief security officer ABSU, Retired Navy Commander ThankGod Evulobi, said they received a distress call that a student has been kidnapped and swung into action only to discover that Nnamdi faked his own kidnap.
He added that they had made their findings known to the University senate to take appropriate action against the supposed victim in line with the rules and regulations guiding the University.
The suspect is still in the custody of ABSU security department while the verdict of the university senate is being awaited as at the time of filling this report.
