Welcome to Nigeria where a random twitter user will wake up one day and fake a pretend kidnap of her and 17 imaginary others as well. This is the story of Ameerah Sufyan a Nigerian 300level Zoology student who left her home and disappeared for a while only to start sharing live location on twitter and post tweets that she is kidnapped all just to go see a guy in Lagos.
A Magistrate Court in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory has granted Ameerah Sufyan, who raised a false alarm that she had been kidnapped, bail on medical grounds.
Sufyan had raised the alarm via her Twitter handle on June 14 that she had been kidnapped alongside 16 people which included three pregnant women and two children.
The alarm turned out to be false after she was recovered by the Police, with Sufyan stating that she “went to these locations, entered bushes and dehydrated and starved myself for four days just like that, there was no kidnapping”.
The Presiding Judge, Chukwuemeka Nweke, granted Sufyan bail on three conditions, which bordered on the report by the prosecution counsel, JCA Idachaba, which revealed that she suffered from mental health problems.
The Judge ruled that Sufyan was not in her right state of mind when she raised the false alarm and was granted conditional bail on the grounds that she provided a surety, in the person of her father, and also undergo therapy.
She was also instructed to report to a Deputy Commissioner of Police at the Force Headquarters for 12 months and take her medication.“Going by the probation report that she was not in a proper mental state of mind when she committed the offence, she is hereby discharged with some conditions.

The annoying thing was that even after she was found and it was discovered by tweeters that she wasactually in a well known hotel in Lagos with a man she was returned home and tweeted that she went to the bush and dehydrated her self, what a big BS lie. After all the banter we were expecting some sort of punishment for here cause of how much unrest she caused in the country, everyone was on the Nigerian Police's back on how incompetent they were cause she shared her location and she still couldn't be found, she was just easily granted bail on account of mental illness.
With this excuse i belive even a serial killer can get away with murder lol
