Her abduction took place just days after a federal high court judge in Akure, Ondo State, Justice Abdul Dogo, was freed by kidnappers who abducted him at the border between Edo and Ondo states in which reports say that ransom was paid.
She is said to be Nigeria’s first female judge to study law up to the Ph.D. level, specializing in the law of intellectual property.
