Mrs. Margaret Emefiele, the wife of
the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, has been released
by her kidnappers.
Sources at the Police High Command
told our correspondent Margaret and four others were released around 1am on
Saturday (today).
Margaret, three women and a driver
were attacked on Thursday along the Benin-Agbor Road and dragged into a nearby
bush while their vehicle was abandoned.
The kidnappers were said to have
demanded a ransom of about N100m.
A police source said, “The
kidnappers released the victims around 1am. We found them around the bush
beside the expressway where they were kidnapped. Investigations are ongoing.”
The reportage of this story was
delayed by Mainstream media houses Friday due to an appeal from the Emefiele
family given the sensitivity of the negotiations for her release from the
kidnappers yesterday.
