Man who tied up lady in Abuja hotel handed over to police

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has confirmed that it has taken custody of one Joseph Efe, a 30-year-old male from Ondo State, who was handed over by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for his alleged involvement in kidnapping, robbery, and attempted murder.

 

Efe was arrested on September 17, 2024, in connection with the alleged abduction and confinement of Olivia Ijeoma Chukwuemeka, a 25-year-old female from Abia State. The incident took place at Top View Hotel, Wuse, where the victim was reportedly held against her will for ritual purposes.

The command also reassured the public of its dedication to combating crime in the Federal Capital Territory in collaboration with other relevant security agencies. Further details regarding the investigation are expected as it unfolds.

“The suspect was arrested on 17th September, 2024, in connection to the alleged kidnapping, robbery and attempted murder of one Olivia Ijeoma Chukwuemeka, a 25-year-old female of Abia State, by forcefully and criminally confining her to a room in Top View hotel, Wuse, allegedly for ritual purposes as purported in viral video footage making rounds wherein the victim was gagged, her legs and hands tied with tape.
