He said “I have been dating her for three years now and she accused me of being a kidnapper. I asked her why she must be accusing me of such things when we have been together for such a time?
“I am not a kidnapper and some of the members of her family know me very well.
“They accused me of being a kidnapper, how can a kidnapper be dating somebody?” He asked rhetorically.
