The wife of the governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele has been kabducted by heavily armed group yesterday’s evening along the Benin-Agbor road.

Gen Alfred Claude-Nelson on June 30, 2016 as well as the kidnapping of Oniba of Ibaland, Oba Goriola Oseni few months back are some of the cases.
