Kidnappers have abducted Ladi Abel, wife of an immigration officer, along Badagry-Mile 2 expressway in Lagos state.

NAN reports that Isaac Elijah, the spokesperson of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) Seme command, said the 45-year-old woman was abducted on Monday.

Elijah said the victim, the wife of Abel Mada, a chief superintendent of immigration, left home at the Sawmill area of Badagry around 7am on Monday to get goods at the Trade Fair Complex at Ojo LGA.

He said the kidnappers have contacted the immigration officer using the wife’s phone to demand ransom.

“One of the kidnappers used the woman’s phone to contact her husband, CSI Abel Mada, requesting for a sum of N7 million in ransom to free his wife,” Elijah said.

“Today (Tuesday) about 6.00.a.m, one of the kidnappers called again, reducing the ransom to N3 million if the husband wants the woman alive.”

The spokesperson said the abduction has been reported at the Badagry police station and Area K zonal office of the police.
