The police in Delta state have arrested a 24-year-old lady, Jessica Anthony, for contacting suspected robbers to rob her boyfriend of two years.
According to the spokesperson of the command, SP Bright Edafe, the young lady and the boyfriend knew each other for a while, broke up and started dating again. He said they were even intimate even in December 2025. He said the lady who was desperate to make money off her boyfriend, connived with her friends to arrange a robbery attack on her boyfriend.
‘’She in connivance with her friend, went to one of the black spots in Warri, trying to locate one of the bad guys. They now told them that I want you to help me rob my boyfriend. I am not sure if she told them it was her boyfriend,
Unfortunately for her, the person she met happened to be the leader of the community who has been helping the police ensure that these bad guys are flushed out of the community. Unfortunately for her also, he happened to know the guy because he asked for the guy’s picture and it was someone he knew. He quickly contacted him to say look, someone has contacted us to come and rob you, the person did not know that I am the leader of this community. The boyfriend now said please play along”
Edafe said the armed robbers played along and asked the young lady and her friend, Ada, for N65, 000 to buy the tools they will need to carry out the attack. He mentioned that the suspects provided the money requested.
‘’They played along. She took them to the estate where the boyfriend lives, showed them the house of the boyfriend. It was when they were coming out of the estate that the boyfriend alerted the security and they were all arrested and opened up”
When interrogated, the young lady said she staged the robbery attack so she could extort N7 million from him. According to her, she needed the money to pay for her sister’s medical bills. She said her boyfriend has some gold jewelries she knows would make good returns if she sold them.
The boyfriend said he has two gold jewelries, one worth N4.2m and another one worth N8.9m.
