The matriarch of the Okonjo family who is the wife of His Majesty, Professor Chukwuka Aninshi Okonjo Agbogidi, the reigning Obi of Ogwashi-Uku kingdom was kidnapped Sunday at about 1:30 pm from the husband’s palace at Ogbe-Ofu quarters in Ogwahi-Uku.
The abduction of the professor, 82, was carried out by eight gunmen who stormed the palace in two Audi cars, grabbed her and pushed her into one of them, before taking off.
Confirming the occurrence, the Delta State police public relations officer, PPRO, Mr. Charles Muka in his reaction said “Yes, we (police) have got the information on the kidnap and we have also got information that will lead to the arrest of the hoodlums”.
Security agents have reportedly been deployed to the palace to enforce security and the police say investigations have begun to rescue the abducted victim.

Its sad,greed,frustration,poverty has made some people stoop so slow to kidnapping
Its more of greed,these kidnappers as I read in the news paper somewhere in the East,the Govt close some hotels that they have converted for their kidnappers,in those rooms,you have all sorts drugs,food etc to sustain them till they get ransom,now tell me if these people are not rich,to get a hotel as their office,provide food ------------common people who are we kidding,its greed
Okonjo Iweala is a humble and means well for this country,lets hope the mother comes back umharmed
Of course if she compiles to the ransom,which i know she is capable
