A woman, named Victoria has landed in Police net on Sunday
at Agege area of Lagos for defrauding retired Commissioner of Police with
borrowed set of four-months-old twins. It was learnt that the twins biologically
belonged to Mrs. Ruth Uche, who had delivered three sets of twins and had been
abandoned by her husband, Emeka, before the Lagos State Government came to her
rescue recently.
Ruth, who had since been reunited with her husband, was said
to have been approached by Victoria, saying she wanted to feature the babies in
a film. Unknown to them that she has an ulterior motive, as she has been in an
illicit relationship with the unnamed retired CP and had taken photos of the
kids, which she sent to him as the products of their relationship. On the
fateful Sunday, she was said to have taken the twins to the man.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command,
Joe Offor, who confirmed the incident, said the unsuspecting mother of the
twins, followed Victoria to the ex-commissioner’s house. He said Ruth and
Victoria began to argue over the ownership of the babies, which raised the
suspicion of the former police boss.
He said, "What happened was that the woman told the Uche
family that she wanted to use the twins in a film, and they believed her. But
Ruth’s husband insisted that she accompanied Victoria. When they got to the
man’s house, Victoria told him that the twins were the products of their
illicit relationship; she was expecting the man to reward her. But the mother
of the twins insisted that they were her kids. When the man saw the way they
were arguing, he called policemen from the Agege Pen Cinema Division, and they
were both arrested."
He said the police had already released the mother of the
twins after the suspect confessed that he deceived the Uches in order to make
money off the man.
