 Woman fakes kidnapping, cons her family
By Bernard Momanyi 


Police have arrested a woman who faked her own kidnapping and solicited Sh200,000 as ransom from her friends and relatives.


The woman left Embakasi in Nairobi last week and went to her boyfriend's house in Kisumu from where she called her relatives, claiming she had been abducted.

The suspect lied to her family and friends that she had been kidnapped and they came and reported to us; that is when the search for her was mounted," Embakasi divisional police chief Akelo Odhiambo said.

Police tracked down the 30-year-old woman to Kisumu on Saturday through the mobile phone she used to solicit the 'ransom' but she managed to escape, leaving her stunned boyfriend who was arrested.
Officers deployed to search for her detained and questioned the boyfriend before they decided to let him free on realising he was not involved in the scheme.

The suspect was pursued to Nairobi where she was arrested on Monday.
Police said they intend to charge her for giving false information and demanding money with menace.
She will definitely face charges in court," Akelo said.

Police said some of her friends and relatives had sent an unknown amount of money to her.
This amounts to fraud... she conned people and lied to the police. It is not acceptable at all," one police officer pursuing the case said.

Police however, said it was not the first time they were dealing with a case of that nature.
Some people become more creative whenever they are broke, some of them go to extremes such as these ones," another police officer said.

A senior police officer at the Nairobi Area Provincial Police headquarters said they had previously dealt with bizarre cases including one where a man overslept at his girlfriend's house and lied to his wife that he had been kidnapped.
The reason does not matter in this case, as long as it borders on a criminal offence, one has to face the law," the officer said.

Love the article on Gaddafi
We must rise above tribalism & divide & rule of the colonialist who stole & looted our treasure & planted their puppets to lord it over us..they alone can decide on whosoever is performing & the one that is corrupt..but the most corrupt nations are the western countries that plunder the resources of other nations & make them poorer & aid the rulers to steal & keep such ill gotten wealth in their country..yemen,syria etc have killed more than gadhafi but its not A̷̷̴ good investment for the west(this is laughable)because oil is not in these countries..when obasanjo annihilated the odi people in rivers state, they looked away because its in their favour & interest..one day!

Hello from
Johannesburg
I was amazed to find a website for Africans in Hungary.
Looks like you have quite a community there. Here in SA we have some three million Zimbabweans living in exile and not much sign of going home ... but in Hungary??? Hope to meet you on one of my trips to Europe; was in Steirmark Austria near the Hungarian border earlier this month. Every good wish for 2011. Geoff in Jo'burg

I'm impressed by
ANH work but...
Interesting interview...
I think from what have been said, the Nigerian embassy here seem to be more concern about its nationals than we are for ourselves. Our complete disregard for the laws of Hungary isn't going to help Nigeria's image or going to promote what the Embassy is trying to showcase. So if the journalists could zoom-in more focus on Nigerians living, working and studying here in Hungary than scrutinizing the embassy and its every move, i think it would be of tremendous help to the embassy serving its nationals better and create more awareness about where we live . Taking the issues of illicit drugs and forged documents as typical examples.. there are so many cases of Nigerians been involved. But i am yet to read of it in e.news. So i think if only you and your journalists could write more about it and follow up on the stories i think it will make our nationals more aware of what to expect. I wouldn't say i am not impressed with your work but you need to be more of a two way street rather than a one way street . Keep up the good work... Sylvia
