Providing an update on the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Omolola Odutola, on Monday, said Rahemat was found in Kwara State with her father.
She stated that the command’s Anti-Kidnapping Unit had begun tracking her until she reappeared.
Odutola said, “Rahemat Lateef, who was reported abducted by her husband, was never kidnapped. Instead, she planned her journey to Kwara State to escape her husband’s wrath, following repeated miscarriages.
“She fabricated the story herself, travelled to Kwara State, and was far from being kidnapped. After experiencing a miscarriage and becoming frustrated due to its repeated occurrence, she feared her husband’s reaction and orchestrated the narrative. The Anti-Kidnapping Team had begun tracking her until she reappeared.
“She is now under medical attention and is safe,” she added.
