revealed that he paid a ransom for his wife,
Memunat Ogude's release, he says he reached a
negotiated settlement of N1.3million after the
kidnappers initially asked for N30million.

paid 1.3m naira though they demanded 30m
naira,” Ogude was quoted by TheCable.
The delighted player disclosed that his wife was
unhurt while in the kidnappers' den but will
undergo medical examinations.
“Yes, she is alright but I have to ensure that
she is. I have taken her to the hospital for
proper medical tests and checkup because the
kind of ordeal she must have gone through in
the hands of the armed men is nothing to be
taken for granted. I have to be sure that she is
very okay.
“She was taken to a very bad place, a swampy
forest, a dirty place to be kept for almost a
week. Imagine what she must have faced
during the number of days she was kept there.
But I am thanking God that I got her back alive.
It is her life that’s the most important thing to
me.
"You know that a lot of people will go there and
won’t come back alive, so I am happy that she
is alright and alive.” he concluded.
He'll be the third after Super Eagles player to
fall victim to kidnappers after the father of
Chelsea player, Mikel Obi and former Christian
Obodo, they both regained their freedom.
