It was gathered that Rebecca, who plays for Oyo State-based Pacesetter Queens in the Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL) Premiership, was abducted while travelling.
According to sources, the captors are demanding a ransom of N20 million from her family for her release.

As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from security agencies confirming details of the incident, and her club has yet to indicate whether efforts are underway to secure her release.
