And after making the report, I tried tracing them to see if by chance I could get the direction they went to. But I could not. “All these happened between 7:30/8pm last night. Till this moment, I have not heard from them. I haven’t found my wife till this moment. “But I got a call from the police that my car had been found in Ughelli. But no words yet from the kidnappers. I don’t know the state in which my wife is since last night.”
