The Lagos state Police command has rescued the current Miss Nigeria International 2014 & daughter of an aide to Kwara state Governor, Miss Sa’adat Bibire, who was abducted two weeks ago by a gang of kidnappers who deceived her to come to Warri, Delta state from Lagos after they promised to make her the ambassador of the Aliko Dangote brand.

The gang, made up of students of the Delta state Polytechnic Ozoro, had opened a Facebook account disguising as Aliko Dangote and contacted Sa’adat.

They invited her to Warri with the promise to make her Dangote brand ambassador.

On getting to Warri, Sa’adat was kidnapped and taken to a place on the outskirts of Ozoro town in Isoko Local Government Area in Delta state.

The kidnappers then contacted her family and asked for N20m ransom, which was supposed to be paid into a Malaysian account.

Parading one of the suspects before newsmen, the Lagos state Police commissioner said a manhunt for the kidnappers was immediately launched after they contacted the girls family but only one of them was arrested while the others are currently on the run.

When interrogated, one of her abductors, 23 year old Patrick Ifada (pictured above), said he was lured into the kidnap gang because of the money offered
“I accepted to join the gang because of the money involved. 
We opened a fake Facebook account pretending to be Alhaji Aliko Dangote and we convinced her to come over to Delta State to meet the businessman. 
At first, our ransom was N20 million. 
When they were not forthcoming with the money, we brought it down to N15 million and then N10 million. 
I was the one staying with the victim in our hideout. 
We were using the quarters of one of our members, Destiny. We are five in number and I was promised a huge sum. 
Other gang members are Destiny, Marcus Omajuwa, Ugada and Chuka. We are all students of Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro, ND 1. 
I was studying Computer Science. She was in our hideout for about two weeks. 
We asked the Special Adviser to pay the ransom into a Malaysian account that one Fred helped us to set up. None of us raped her. 
Destiny told us we were only going to make money from her family, and not to assault her” he told Vanguard
The wife of one of the kidnappers was arrested alongside Patrick.
