A 66-year-old widow and Assistant Chief Nursing Officer at Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Elizabeth Uruakpa, has been freed after being abducted in the Ilisan Remo area of Ogun State. Uruakpa was kidnapped last week by armed men while returning from a church service.
She was reportedly dropped off at the university’s gate on Thursday, with police confirming her release and ongoing treatment at the hospital. Although reports suggest the kidnappers demanded ₦50 million in ransom, the exact amount paid remains unknown. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
