Bosa,
Belynda Chinwe Bosa, 25, a 300level Mass Communication undergraduate of the
Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, and George Itietie, a student of the
Institute of Management and Technology (IMT), Enugu State, were arrested on
January 12, 2015, in their hideout in faraway Oyibo axis of Port- Harcourt,
River State by detectives of the Delta State Police Command.
Bosa,
who faked her kidnapping with her lover, demanding a ransom of N10 million from
her parents with a threat that, “Pay N10 million, if you want your daughter to
be released alive!”
The
parents never knew it was their daughter that was threatening them. They had
begged the supposed kidnappers until they reduced the ransom. The first
payment had just been lodged into an Ecobank account when police arrested the
lovers.
The
parents however, become speechless after detectives trailing the kidnappers
told them that their daughter planned her own kidnap with her lover.They
promptly disowned her for putting them through hell
Bosa
said she regretted her actions and pleaded for mercy. Weeping profusely, Bosa
said: “I regret getting involved in this crime. Please forgive me, daddy and
mummy! I’m sorry for the stress I made you go through!” Asked why she agreed to
the fraud, she lamented, “George and I love each other. We decided to get
married but had no money to plan the wedding.
I decided to offer myself to be kidnapped by George so that we could extort money from my parents for the wedding. But we didn’t envisage that it would go this way.”

Bosa
further said that her parents had always loved her, and even more so after she
gained admission into the university three year ago.
“I can’t just explain what came over me,” she said as tears rolled down her cheeks. “I don’t know why I embarked on this shameful act. I’ve embarrassed my parents and soiled my family name for the sake of love. Can somebody please help me beg them to forgive me?”
On his part, Itietie, queried dryly: “Even if Belynda’s parents allow me to marry her, will they be able to obliterate the stigma from their hearts?”

marry George!”
