A pregnant woman, who was kidnapped while on her way to the hospital for delivery, has reportedly given birth in the kidnappers’ den at Egede, Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State.
The incident, which was said to have happened last Monday, saw the woman giving birth to a bouncing baby boy in the forest.
Reports say the woman whose name was given as Chinwendu Igwe, was with her two other little children aged between two and four years when the incident happened.
The lady’s husband, Mr. Ekene Igwe, who confirmed the development to journalists, added that he paid a ransom of N1.6 million before effecting the release of his wife and the newborn baby from the forest in Egede where the kidnappers asked him to deposit the cash.
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 is grateful to God for getting his family back.
