A source within the palace said , “The abductors were heavily armed. They were about 10. They bailed up the men fixing the interlocking tiles and asked them to lie face down".

“Immediately they saw her (the King’s wife) they bundled her into a waiting Golf car while another car was parked outside.”

It was learnt that one of them went upstairs to collect the woman’s handbag. The eyewitness said another maid, who sighted the kidnappers upstairs, hid herself in the kitchen.

 As at the time of filing this report the kidnappers were yet to contact the family of the Finance's Minister though a family source said she is already working with security officials in Abuja on how her mother could be freed.
