Why I contacted armed robbers to rob my boyfriend – Nigerian lady confesses

A 24-year old resident of Delta State, Jessica Anthony, has revealed that she contacted suspected armed robbers to rob her boyfriend and extort about N7 million to offset her sister’s hospital bills.

The young lady was arrested by operatives of the Delta State command after her plans failed to materialize.

The spokesman of the Delta Command, SP Bright Edafe, who interviewed the suspect in a video he posted on his X account, said luck ran out on the suspect when she informed some bad boys of her evil intentions.

According to Edafe, one of those the suspect sought to carry out the robbery, knows the boyfriend but played along until she was arrested.

Asked why she wanted her boyfriend robbed, the suspect said, “because I needed money for my sister’s hospital bills of N7 million. I wanted them to steal his gold”.
