The lady’s husband, Mr. Ekene Igwe, confirmed the development to newsmen.

According to him, a ransom of N1.6 million was paid to secure the release of his wife and the newborn from the forest in Egede where the kidnappers asked him to deposit the ransom.

Igwe said that it was a kind motorcyclist who rescued his two kids abandoned on the road by the kidnappers.

“I paid a ransom of N1.6 million before I could get my wife and the new born baby,” he said.

Igwe who hails from Attakwu Akegbe Ugwu Awkunanaw said he was grateful to God for getting them back
