Completesports.com scooped that Mrs Ozuruonye Juliet Kalu was driving with some of her children along the Okpulu Umuobo area of Aba, Abia State, last Wednesday when the unidentified gunmen blocked her vehicle, ordered the children out of the car and took her away.

The kidnappers initially demanded for a ransom of N3m but declined to release Mrs Kalu after the money was released to them.
