A young creditor identified as Oluchi Okoye aka PACA has been arrested by policemen attached to the Denton Police Station for tying his debtor, Reuben Alozie, to a stake over unpaid N4.6m debt.
The suspect tied the victim to a stick with ropes at No. 29, Abeokuta Street, Ebute Metta, Lagos from 22nd September to 23rd September when he was eventually rescued by the police.
According to the suspect, he resorted to self-help after several efforts to recover his money from the victim failed.
The arrest of the suspect was made possible following a complaint lodged at the station by the victim’s wife, Angela Reuben who reported that her husband was deprived of his liberty by the suspect who held him hostage.
