CBN Governor's Wife Released

       According to New Telegraph & ThisDay, Margaret was rescued at about 12.30 am by security operatives. Family sources said she was rescued “due to the gallantry of the Armed Forces, Police and Security Forces”, in Ugoneki near Benin City and is currently recuperating in Government House, Asaba.



She along with three other women and their driver were abducted along the Benin-Agbor Road on Thursday while on their way to the CBN Governor’s home town.

The abductors had made a demand of N1.5billion for them to release their high profile victims.

However, some security experts described the abduction of the CBN governor’s wife as an embarrassment, noting that something must have gone wrong.
