FOREIGN WORKERS ABDUCTED IN BAYELSA
This kidnap event has ultimately pushed forward the high rate of insecurity in the riverine enclave of the state where pirates and other criminal elements have been terrorizing law abiding citizens.
The gunmen were said to have captured the foreigners at gunpoint while they were working on road projects in Emakalakala, Ogbia local government area of Bayelsa state, dragging them into a waiting boat which sped away into the surrounding creeks.
Although no group has come forward to claim responsibility for the kidnap, a security source, who pleaded anonymity confirmed the abduction, saying that security operatives were already combing the area with a view to rescuing the victims and bring the perpetrators to book.
The Spokesman of the Joint Task Force in the Niger Delta code-named ‘Operation Pulo Shield’, Colonel Mustapha Anka, and the state Acting Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Rowland Eboka could not be reached for comments.
