Gunmen abduct President Jonathan’s LG chairman

Unidentified gunmen have abducted Enaye Abah, the Chairman of Ogbia, local government area of Bayelsa State.

Ogbia is the local council chairman of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The Police Spokesperson for Bayelsa Command, Asinim Butswat, confirmed the incident and said the command had alerted Rivers and Delta Commands of the development.

It was gathered that the kidnappers allegedly trailed their victim, overtook his car and blocked him.

They shot sporadically to scare away people around the area.

“They abducted him in his car and transferred him to a blue mazda car and when they got to Okaka waterside they burnt the mazda car and escaped with a waiting speedboat into the river,” Mr. Butswat said.

Meanwhile, the gunmen were yet to contact the family at the moment.
