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.
