Gunmen abduct woman in Rivers

Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers Monday night at about 8pm abducted a woman at road junction, Akwaka phase 2, Rumuodamaya, in Ohio/ Akpor local government area of Rivers state.

A shop owner who did not want her name in print told our correspondent that the gunmen intercepted the woman at road 10 junction and brought her out of her vehicle as they shot sporadically into the air while residents and others passersby scampered for safety.

Continuing, she said the woman’s vehicle which was abandoned by the gunmen has been removed as at the time she (eyewitness) came to work this morning.

The eyewitness could not ascertain if it was the police that removed the victim’s vehicle.

The suspected kidnap comes less than few days after the Commissioner of Police, Rivers State, CP Effiong Okon, gave ten days grace to criminals in the state to submit their guns.

The Rivers Police spokesperson, SP Grace lringe- Koko, promised to get back to our correspondent when contacted.
