The police want to find a man named Edmund Kudzayi. He and his friend asked a company called West Properties to give them $40,000. They said they would tell bad secrets about the company if they didn't pay the money.
The police already caught Edmund's friend, Nominate Chazwe. She went to court, and a judge said she must stay in jail until Thursday. That's when they will decide if she can leave until her next court date.
Edmund used to help West Properties with their advertising. He brought Nominate to meet the company and said she worked with him. Last June, Edmund and Nominate told West Properties they knew bad things about the company and its boss, Mr. Kenneth Sharpe. They said they would tell everyone these secrets unless the company paid them.
West Properties talked with them and gave Edmund's company $24,344. A few months passed, but Edmund and Nominate asked for more money. They still threatened to share their secrets. The company left $1,000 for Nominate at a hotel called Horizon Hotel.
This month, Nominate asked for another $4,000. West Properties told the police about it. The police made a plan to catch her. They watched as someone from West Properties gave Nominate the money. The police arrested her right away and took back all the money. The people in charge of the case say Edmund and Nominate kept trying to make West Properties give them money by scaring them.
