Man arrested for tying lover in Abuja hotel

A man has been arrested for tying the hands and legs of his lover in a hotel in the Wuse area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The man was accused of attempting to use her for ritual purposes before luck ran out of him.

A video of the incident, seen by our correspondent on Thursday, showed people ordering the man to untie her.

Reacting to the incident, the FCT Police Command said it was aware of the video.

The command’s spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, in a statement, said the man in the video is a suspected internet fraudster.

She noted that the command’s investigation revealed that operatives of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps had arrested the suspect but had yet to hand him over to the police.

Adeh said, “The FCT Police Command is aware of the video footage making the rounds about a lady who was criminally confined at Top View Hotel, Wuse, Abuja, on 17th September 2024, by an alleged internet fraudster, allegedly for a money ritual.

“Findings revealed that the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has taken the suspect into custody and is yet to hand him over to the police for a diligent investigation.

“The FCT Police Command awaits the NSCDC to hand over all parties for the commencement of a diligent and discreet investigation.”
