The wife
of the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Margaret Emefiele, was one of about
six people abducted by gunmen on Thursday.
A family
source said that efforts were underway to secure Mrs. Emefiele’s release, as
well as others, within the shortest period possible.
“Yes, I
can confirm to you that she was kidnapped, but we’re making diligent efforts to
ensure her release and also the other people,” the source said.
Sahara
Reporters, an online news platform based in New York, said on Friday evening
that Mrs. Emefiele was kidnapped along Benin-Agbor Road on Thursday after
gunmen chased her police detail into the bush.
The medium
also said a ransom of N1.5 billion has been demanded by her abductors, who have
since reached out to the family.
