See How Woman Schemed to Use Ruth Uche’s Twins to Defraud Retired CP

A woman identified as Victoria was arrested on Sunday in the Agege area of Lagos for allegedly scheming to defraud a retired Commissioner of Police using a set of four-month-old twins belonging to Mrs. Ruth Uche, whose husband absconded after learning she was expecting their third set of twins. Remember her? Read here, here and here.

According to Punch, Victoria, a mother of two, ‘borrowed’ Ruth’s twins in the guise of taking them to feature in a film to enable her extort money from the retired CP, whom she previously had an affair with. She had even taken photos of the babies and sent to the CP as the products of their relationship to set her plans in motion.

On her husband’s insistence, an unsuspecting Ruth followed Victoria when taking the twins to the said movie location, which turned out to be the retired CP’s house, and Victoria’s scheme was uncovered.

The Lagos State PPRO, confirming the incident, said: “What happened was that the woman told the Uche family that she wanted to use the twins in a film, and they believed her. But Ruth’s husband insisted that she accompanied Victoria. When they got to the man’s house, Victoria told him that the twins were the products of their illicit relationship; she was expecting the man to reward her. But the mother of the twins insisted that they were her kids. When the man saw the way they were arguing, he called policemen from the Agege Pen Cinema Division, and they were both arrested.”
