Rhodes-Vivour’s wife, daughter kidnappers demand N200m ransom
(Nigeria) Kidnappers of the immediate past president of the Maritime
Arbitrators of Nigeria, Mrs Adedoyin Rhodes-Vivour, have demanded for a ransom
of N200 million.
Adedoyin is wife of Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour of the
Supreme Court.
It will be recalled that kidnappers on Friday night snatched
Mrs Rhodes-Vivour, her daughter and
driver in Benin Edo State.
The gunmen reportedly waylaid them and their driver at
gunpoint as they were driving to Benin, the capital of Edo city in preparation
for Justice Vivour daughter’s wedding.
The Edo State Police Command, speaking through Mr Moses
Eguavoen, said the police were yet to establish where the kidnapping took
place.
“I cannot say exactly where it happened. I can’t say whether
it happened in Edo State part or Ondo State. I have not been able to reach
Ekiadolor and Okada Divisions to know whether it actually happened in Edo State
or not. When I get the appropriate information, I shall inform you. Expect our
update on the issue latest Monday.”
Mrs Rhodes-Vivour is a member of the Lagos branch of the
Nigerian Bar Association, NBA and an arbitrator with a Law office in Lagos.
Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed
Abubakar, has ordered the police to deploy resources and men to rescue the wife
and daughter of the Supreme Court Judge, Justice Rhodes-Vivour.
