Her parents further demanded that the police should handle the case just the same way they would handle a criminal.
While confessing the crime amidst uncontrollable tears, Bosa, a 300 level student of Mass Communications of the Delta State University, Abraka, regretted ever indulging in such an act because she was blindfolded by love for her boyfriend who she wished to marry.
She said, “I regret getting involved in this crime. Please forgive me, daddy and mummy! I’m sorry for the stress I made you go through!
George and I love each other. We decided to get married but had no money to plan the wedding.
I decided to offer myself to be kidnapped by George so that we could extort money from my parents for the wedding. If I’m given the chance, I’ll still marry George.
But we didn’t envisage that it would go this way. I can’t just explain what came over me.
I don’t know why I embarked on this shameful act.
I’ve embarrassed my parents and soiled my family name for the sake of love. Can somebody please help me beg them to forgive me?”
Itietie who doubted the possibility of a marriage said, “Even if Belynda’s parents allow me to marry her, will they be able to obliterate the stigma from their hearts?”
