2 soldiers arrested in connection with the kidnap of Emefiele's wife.

Two soldiers, Lance Corporals Musa Maidabra and Edwin George, serving at 122D30 Regiment in Maiduguri, Borno State, have been arrested for transporting the ransom that was paid for the release of the wife of the Central Bank Governor, Margaret Emefiele.

Margaret and three others were abducted along Benin-Agbor Road about two weeks ago and were released 24 hours later after the payment of undisclosed amount to their abductors.

The two soldiers said they received N6.5m each as their share of the ransom estimated to be around N80m.

Maidabra and George, who were paraded alongside seven others on Monday in Abuja for alleged involvement in the kidnapping, said they were given the money for assisting the gang to transport the ransom to a hideout in Benin, the Edo State capital.

Other suspects included a dismissed soldier, Ernest Uduefe, Mohammed Abubakar, Mohammed Musa, Mohammed Sule, Ibrahim Abdullahi, Aliyu Musa and Mohammed Yusuf.

Maidabra said, “We were not involved in the kidnapping; we only assisted them to transport the money to a location. We carried the money and ran away with it in a vehicle; it was part of my friend’s share that I collected. We didn’t know the money was from a kidnap operation.”

George corroborated his colleague, saying they provided security cover for transporting the ransom to a hideout in Benin.

“I was not involved in the kidnap; the money they gave me was over N6m. I asked about the source of the money, but they didn’t tell me,” he said.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Donald Awunah, said the police recovered N14,725,000, two Honda Accord cars, an Audi car, one AK 47 magazine and two cartridges from the gang.

He stated that a Jeep, valued at N1.5m and N4m cash were recovered from Maidabra, while a Honda Accord, estimated at N1.1m, was recovered from George.

Donald explained that detectives recovered N7.7m from Musa out of his N10m share, adding that he sustained bullet wounds after a gun duel with the police while trying to escape from the forest where they had kept their victim.

“Mohammed Sule confessed to have received N10m in cash as part of his share of the ransom paid and claimed a soldier and a gang leader escaped with the rest of the loot. Another suspect, Ibrahim Abdullahi, admitted to have received N10m in cash.

“The police will continue to limit the capacity of kidnappers and other criminals to disrupt the quality of life of Nigerians by the deployment of adequate manpower and resources in crime reduction, detection and prosecution of offenders,” he said.  

He added that the ransome was something used as a bait or bargaining chip to save the lives of victims of crime.

“It is absolutely important to mention that the police do not and will not encourage payment of ransom,” Awunah added

Heartless : 10 Month Old baby raped and killed by her mum's boyfriend

A 10-month-old baby girl has died after suffering head injuries in a brutal sexual assault by her mum’s boyfriend, police say.


Emmaleigh Barringer died on Oct. 5 after allegedly being raped and beaten by her mother’s boyfriend, Benjamin Taylor, according to the West Virginia Gazette.

Since Emmaleigh’s brutal attack, Benjamin has been accused of assaulting the baby late at night on Oct. 2 or early on Oct. 3 while everyone else in the family’s home, in Jackson County, West Virginia, was asleep.

Emmaleigh’s mom, who has three other children, reportedly woke up between 4:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. and found her baby girl naked and bleeding on her basement floor.

She immediately called 911 Police said that when they arrived at the house in Meadowlark Lane in Ripley, they found Benjamin trying to “wipe something” off his groin area, which police later determined to be the baby’s blood, according to WSAZ.

At the crime scene, authorities also found blankets and clothes covered in blood, which is where Benjamin had reportedly been with the baby in the basement.

And while police said the 32-year-old man originally told them he did not know how the baby was injured, he later admitted that he “blacked out” while doing laundry with Emmaleigh.

The infant died just days later in the intensive care unit of Charleston Area Medical Center. The baby’s doctors told Jackson County deputies that her injuries were consistent with a violent sexual assault as well as a violent shaking or a striking of the baby’s face.


Benjamin is now being held at South Central Regional Jail on a $2 million dollar bond, on a single count of first-degree sexual assault. And according to local officials, they will be charging him with the baby’s murder shortly.

A 10-month-old baby girl has died after suffering head injuries in a brutal sexual assault by her mum’s boyfriend, police say.

Emmaleigh Barringer, from Charleston, West Virginia, was found by her mother bleeding in the basement of the home.
