She was abandoned along the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan bypass popularly referred to as Airport bypass at about 6:00PM on Monday evening.

Cash sums and her devices were taken from her and she has remained in police custody who say they are awaiting confirmation of identity from her family members before she is released.
