She was rescued after some days.
Reminiscing on the incident on Twitter on Saturday, the former Group Managing Director of UBA Plc said his mother was kidnapped two weeks after the deal for the fertiliser plant was signed.
“Two weeks after the plant deal was signed, my mum was kidnapped. Next I got an email asking, ‘Are you sure Delta is the right location for this investment’?
“Thankfully, with the help of Governor Uduaghan and federal security agencies, we were able to deal with that situation very quickly.
“Economic prosperity is the enemy of crime; as we build one, we destroy the other,” he wrote.
