The Digest:
A 31-year-old man, Chukwuemeka Destiny, has been arrested by the Delta State Police for allegedly plotting to kidnap the aunt who raised him from childhood. The victim took Destiny in at age five and cared for him for a decade, including seeing him through school. Destiny made two payments to the abductors. An initial N200,000 and a second N700,000.

- Despite blood ties, she asked for the full weight of the law to be exercised.
