What would ever make you conspire against your own spouse? When two people get married, they promise each other for better or worse, for richer or poorer but what happens when one's spouse makes life worse for them because they don't want to suffer through 'poorer'?

That's the issue we'll be looking at in today's story I read in The Punch newspaper and immediately knew I had to share with you guys. It's such a ride so without further ado, let's get to the story.

Ogun State Police Command on Monday, the 1st of November, arrested a woman by the name of Memunat Salaudeen, a housewife based in Ogun, for hiring three men to kidnap her own husband.

According to the story, Memunat hired three men, Olayinka Lawal, Asungba Nura, and Usman Oluwatoyin to go out and buy a new cutlass and strong rope with which she wanted them to use and kidnap her husband.

According to police officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, he said:

While searching them, a cutlass and a new strong rope was recovered from them. The team quickly separated them and questioned them individually about their mission in that area with a rope and a cutlass. The three of them gave different answers to the question. This further aroused the suspicion of the policemen, who then decided to interrogate them more. In the course of interrogation, the three of them confessed that it was a woman who was later identified as Memunat Salaudeen that gave them the sum of N8,000 to buy a cutlass and a rope strong enough to tie a human being. They confessed further that the woman, who is a nurse in their area at Balogun Tuntun Gasline, Ifo, asked them to go and hide somewhere along that road, and that she would lure her husband to the place where they would kidnap him and tie him with the rope and then ask for ransom.

The men told the police that Memunat told them that that was the only way she could get money from her husband, a man she accused of being very stingy despite his having money.

They were on their way to carry out the attack on Memunat's husband when they were intercepted by the police. When Memunat herself was eventually brought to the scene, upon seeing the arrested suspects, she admitted that she was in fact the brains behind the whole operation.

She told the policemen that her husband had not been giving her money and that she decided to plan his kidnap in an effort to get money from him "at all cost."

Memunat and boys

Na Wa! So this woman paid hoodlums N8,000 to buy weapons and kidnap her husband all because she wanted money from him. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures, but how stingy could the man have been? I'm also curious to know how much they planned on taking from him, and even more curious to know how she was planning to explain how she came into money right after his kidnap without it looking suspicious.

What won't we see these days! Please let me know what you think of this story. Do you think in a time of desperation, you could ever do a thing like this? Or do you think it's going too far? Let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment on my Facebook post.
