According to the post by Don Jazzy, Jessica had left Lagos on October 7, to Abuja to visit with her father but was nowhere to be found when the family went to pick her up at the airport even after the airline had confirmed the flight had landed in Abuja at exactly 5.15pm.

The unexpected disappearance of Jessica throw the family into confusion and panic owing to what they thought was an abduction but as it turned out, the young lady had beaten her family and took an airport taxi to her boyfriend's place in the Lugbe area of the Federal Capital territory.

While the family frantically ran from pillar to post looking for her and well-wishers of her like Don Jazzy is pleading the society to help with useful information as to her whereabout, the lady reportedly gave her father’s telephone number to her boyfriend who called the Honourable member and 'threatened' that if he wanted his daughter back alive, he should pay a certain amount of money as ransom, in an apparent attempt to extort money from her father.

But as luck would have it, someone saw her in the neighborhood, proxy to the viral news of her abduction on social media, and alerted the police who traced her whereabouts and arrested her and the supposedly 'kidnapper cum lover'.

It can be recalled that also in January, a 25-year-old undergraduate of the Delta State University, Abraka, Belynda Chinwe Bosa, was arrested by the police in Port harcourt for conniving with her jobless boyfriend to kidnap her so as to extort  N10 million from her parents.
