On August 19, 2024, Christiana was reported missing, and her kidnappers contacted her parents using her own WhatsApp account, demanding a ransom of N1.5 million.

Despite raising N350,000, which was transferred to a betting account, communication between the abductor and the family ceased after the payment.

Investigations revealed that the abductor had a personal connection with Christiana, as evidenced by interactions on social media.
