Details are sketchy, but the pregnant woman rescued from the hands of alleged kidnappers, but gave birth later in a nearby hospital, has died.
There are suspicions she died as a result of complications from the attack she suffered in the hands of her attackers, before she was rescued by road safety officials.
Below is an earlier statement, Sunday, on the woman’s ordeal by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
