| Mrs Lakshmi Tombush |
Ms. Tombush runs the elite, highly discriminatory Pegasus Schools, funded by ExxonMobil in Nigeria. ExxonMobil operates the highly lucrative Qua Iboe oil fields in Akwa Ibom, one of Nigeria’s richest oil producing states.
Ms. Tombush is an Indian national married to a Nigerian of Akwa Ibom origin. Her husband, an insider in ExxonMobil circles, had died recently. Until his death, he had overseen the disbursement of funds from the oil firm through the award of juicy contracts. He also ran several charities that were largely financed by the oil company in the guise of corporate investment in “social responsibility community projects.”
Saharareporters learned that the police orderly attached to Ms. Tombush as well as her driver were shot dead and abandoned in her car along Grace Bill Road in Eket.
Our correspondent gathered that the gunmen overtook and blocked Ms. Tombush’s car, abducted her and then sped off with her in their own car to an unknown destination. The kidnap happened in the early hours of Wednesday.
A police source told Saharareporters that eyewitness accounts said the kidnappers seemed irritated by the efforts of the policeman and driver to save their principal and shot them in the process.
Our police sources in Eket confirmed the incident, but said that the kidnappers were yet to make contact with the family of their hostage or to demand any ransom.
The remains of the murdered driver and police escort have been evacuated from the crime scene and deposited at a morgue in Eket.

i think i'll be off to the next one.
The driver n policeman were only doing their job and have died for nothing. May evil and suffering visit all involved parties both the big dogs that hide behind the foolish disposable criminals, all of them and their families until they all die a slow painful death!
why? why? why? *sigh*....may the souls of the departed rest in peace & the wicked NEVER have peace of mind in the mighty name of Jesus i ask ..AMEN!
This is so so sad
Hey Linda I would suggest doing a fact check before posting from questionable news sources. So what if she ran a "discriminatory" school? When institutions set standards it is considered being discriminatory thats why most people in Nigeria have no standards. Its a shame Sahara refused to report factual and unbiased news but I don't expect whatever 3rd parties to recycle their news
I know her. Her daughter went to my secondary school. This is so sad..Things have to change in Nigeria. May the good Lord help us all. Amen
omg please let her be found in Jesus name amen.And bisola it's not good, she is someone's mother!
This is how they killed all the top Old Catholic Schools in 9ja ..they wanted everyone to have the same chance..yeah and we can see how far that has gotten us!!..even in UK and US not everyone can get into the Top colleges and Universities.In 9ja dumb it down enough then turn round and set up your own private schools and universities..
And then what happens to the history..one thing everyone has over Africa..we do not know the power of Culture and History!!..
The news from sahara reporters was biased and ugly,fit for a gossip magazine.Highly discriminatory school?The late husband's involvement with exxon mobil....the orphanage?What has this got to do with reporting facts and leaving out hear say.I happen to know this lady,my sister happened to go to the highly discriminatory school....yes some people have more in life,others less....it doesn't make either party good/bad or justify such terrorist acts.
@Bisola....it's sad that life has reduced you to a bitter person,I can only hope that you snap out of it before it kills you.....
