Nigeria, June 10 -- A married woman identified as Oluchi has been found in a hotel in Delta State after allegedly staging her own abduction and demanding a 50 million ransom from her family.

It was gathered that her children, including a daughter based in Canada, had earlier appealed to members of the public for financial assistance to secure her release after the supposed abductors reportedly reduced the ransom demand to 20 million.

The family initially reported to the police that Oluchi was kidnapped in the Ikpoba Hill area of Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of Edo State.

However, police investigations reportedly led operatives to Delta State, where she was discovered in a hotel with her alleged lover.
