A mother [/b]of three has reportedly been kidnapped in Abuja on her way to her boyfriend’s house after telling her husband she was traveling to Ibadan.
The unusual circumstances surrounding the incident have continued to attract attention online and offline, as many Nigerians attempt to make sense of the conflicting emotions involved in the story.
Secret Trip Goes Wrong
According to a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @bolanlecole, the woman quietly made plans to travel outside her home state without the knowledge of her family.
It was gathered that she secretly traveled to Abuja [/b]to meet her boyfriend, while informing her husband that she was on her way to Ibadan.
While on her journey within the city, she was allegedly abducted by unknown persons believed to be kidnappers.
Soon after, a ransom demand of ₦50 million was reportedly made to secure her release.
Boyfriend Unable to Rescue Her
Details from the viral post further revealed that the man she traveled to meet could not raise the demanded amount, despite reportedly making efforts to seek help from friends and associates.
The situation reportedly worsened when the woman’s husband, who later discovered the truth behind her trip, refused to pay the ransom following the revelation that she had lied about her destination.
Observers described the moment as one filled with emotional conflict, as betrayal, fear, and concern for safety collided in the family.
Children Plead for Their Mother’s Release
The incident has reportedly taken a heavy emotional toll on the woman’s children, who were said to be devastated after learning about their mother’s abduction.
The children were allegedly seen begging their father to put aside the marital issues and focus on their mother’s safety and possible return home.
Family sources claim the kids remain hopeful that an agreement will be reached to enable their mother regain her freedom.
The post read: “Mother of 3 told her husband she was going to Ibadan, travelled to Abuja to see her boyfriend. Was kidnapped at Abuja, demanded for 50m ransom. Lover cannot raise it, husband refused to pay. Children are begging him to pay, please advise him.”
Netizens Reactions…
The story has sparked intense debate among social media users, with opinions sharply divided across different platforms.
@Saint hris said: “This is a tough situation. The betrayal is deep — she lied, risked her life, and disrespected her family. The husband has every right to feel hurt and refuse to cooperate. But at the end of the day, she’s still the mother of his children. If anything happens to her, those kids will suffer emotional damage for life. My advice: Pay the ransom if he can, not for her, but for the sake of the children. After that, he can choose how to move forward — even if it means walking away from the marriage. Actions have consequences, but so does silence. Sometimes, mercy speaks louder than revenge.”
@EzeSamuel89 said: “This one hot but for the sake of the children you have to pay only when you have done theDNA to confirm they are yours then after her release the marriage will be over.”
@lemekeosborn1 reacted: “As long as I’m concerned my wife is in Ibadan. Whoever they have there is not my wife and I don’t know her. Even if she says soemthing she and I alone knows,l still don’t know .”
@matho4sure commented: “are u sure say no be she and d lover plan d kidnap?”
@Sincere take said: “The husband should pay the money, but before he pays, he should conduct a DNA test on the children, if they are his, he should pay and free her from the captive and walk away from the marriage afterwards, but if they are not his, just leave her there!”
Many users also encouraged families to seek professional counseling and legal advice, stressing that emotional decisions in such moments could have lasting consequences for everyone involved.
