The Benue state woman, Mrs Maria Agbo, who was killed by kidnappers alongside her daughter in Abuja, has been buried.
 
She was laid to rest on Thursday, February 8, 2024, in Owukpa, Benue State.
 
Maria had travelled to Abuja to take care of her daughter, Christiana, who had just given birth after ten years of childlessness.
 
Tragedy struck when kidnappers stormed their home near the Mopol Barracks, in the Dei-Dei area of FCT and abducted Maria, her daughter and the newborn baby.
 
The kidnappers demanded N90m ransom from the family as a condition to release the victims. After negotiation, they settled for N10 million.
 
However, days later, the family received the devastating news that Christiana and her mother had been killed, and the newborn baby abandoned in a hospital.
