Immigration officer’s wife kidnapped in Lagos
The Nigeria Immigration Service, Seme Command, Badagry, in Lagos State, says Ladi Abel, the wife of one of its officers, has been allegedly kidnapped.
Isaac Elijah, the command’s public relations officer, made this known to journalists on Tuesday in Badagry.
Mr Elijah said the 45-year-old woman was kidnapped on Monday along the Badagry-Mile 2 Expressway in Lagos.
He said the woman left her home in Sawmill, Badagry, around 7:00 a.m. for the Trade Fair complex on the same route to buy goods when she was kidnapped.
“One of the kidnappers used the woman’s phone to contact her husband, CSI Abel Mada, requesting a sum of N7 million in ransom to free his wife.
“Today (Tuesday), about 6:00 a.m., one of the kidnappers called again, reducing the ransom to N3 million if the husband wants the woman alive,” he said.
The PRO stated that the case had been reported at the Badagry Police Station and the Area K Zonal office of the Nigeria Police.
He urged members of the public who had any information regarding the kidnapping to contact the family on 0808 088 3848.
