Father kidnaps his daughter after she inherited grandfather’s fortune

A dad has reportedly kidnapped his daughter after she inherited a fortune in her grandfather’s will.

Noura Aly Essam, who is 23 years old, was abducted by her dad after her grandfather willed her a third of his estate.

Her father, whose name is yet to be identified, forced her out of her home on Saturday, June 4, after news of the inheritance got to him.

The police confirmed that said the half-Egyptian and half-Korean girl had been living with her grandparents for years.

According to the force, she was reportedly tortured and hurled out of her home back to her father’s house where she was locked in a bedroom.

Prosecutors noted that “disagreements erupted between the father and his daughter after her grandfather’s will.”

They said he “took his daughter with him out of hatred for her and assaulted her”. He also injured her eyes when he “stepped” on her.

Noura was only saved when police spotted a viral social media plea to find her as her father confiscated her phone.

Egypt’s Public Prosecutor’s Office announced in a statement that she had been returned safely to her family and that her father had been arrested.
