Pregnant Ogun woman found in Kwara, police reveal abduction was fabricated

The Ogun State Police Command on Monday, said that Rahemat Lateef, a pregnant woman who alleged being kidnapped by unknown assailants while en route to the state hospital in Ijaiye, Abeokuta for childbirth, was actually a case of a false abduction.

The spokesperson for the state police command, SP Omolola Odutola, disclosed this on her X handle on Monday.

Odutola said the woman resorted to fabricating her abduction after experiencing another miscarriage, in order to avoid her husband’s disappointment as he was anticipating the delivery.

Mrs. Lateef fled to Kwara State and later returned to Abeokuta with her father.

The distressed housewife, grappling with repeated miscarriages, concocted the abduction narrative as a way to cope with her situation.

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,” she added.

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

Odutola while confirming the report on her X handle had said, “One Ogunbunmi Lateef of Oke Lantoro reported that his pregnant wife due for delivery left home for the State Hospital, Ijaiye, Abeokuta.

“He received a WhatsApp message confirming the abduction of his wife by unknown armed men.”
