Daily Trust reliably gathered that the kidnappers stormed the residence of the victim during the early hours of Wednesday and demanded for money from her husband.

“They came around 12 midnight and asked the husband for money and he told them that all he had was N20,000, which they collected, slapped him on the face, and insisted on going with him, which he consented.

“But when they got outside the house, one of them said the husband was not the right person for them to kidnap but his wife, because her brother is a ‘big man’ in Abuja,” a source has said.
