A young woman identified as Olivia has been rescued after she was held captive at Top View Hotel in Wuse, Abuja, by a suspected internet fraudster identified as Alex for money ritual purposes.
In a video obtained by Neptune Prime, hotel workers rushed to the lady’s rescue after hearing her screams from the room.
The man confined the naked girl to a chair and wrapped her legs with a transparent tape, she was visibly shaking and crying profusely.
The video showed the hotel staff directing the suspect to unwrap the girl’s legs, while asking about his intentions with her.
A man in the video cautioned girls against “hookup” and the desire for extravagant lifestyle with young men flaunting suspicious wealth.
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) arrested the suspect and has taken him into custody, pending handover to the police for further investigation.
