Ubong
Assam, the wife of the traditional ruler of Esit Eket in Akwa Ibom, was
delivered of a baby girl on Friday, while in custody of her kidnappers.
A
family source, who pleaded anonymity, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in
Esit Eket, Esit Eket Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom, on Saturday, that the
monarch’s wife gave birth to the baby in an unknown hideout of her abductors.
The
kidnappers abducted the traditional ruler’s wife and her four children in the
Akpautong neighbourhood of Esit Eket on April 29.
The
source said the kidnappers quickly released the woman and her four children due
to the birth of the baby.
Reacting
to the development, the Police Public Relations Officer in Akwa Ibom, Cordelia
Nwawe, said that the command expressed appreciation to God for the safe
delivery of the monarch’s wife.
She,
nonetheless, said that the command had yet to receive any information about the
release of the kidnapped woman and her four children.
NAN,
however, reports that the traditional ruler’s wife and her four children were
released on May 14.
