Armed men invaded the home council of President Goodluck Jonathan,
Ogbia local government council and kidnapped the council chairman, Mr
Enaye Sasime Abah.
A witness said it was like a scene from a mafia movie as the men
armed with sophisticated weapons waylay Abah along Otuasega/ Okarki road
and opened fire on his official vehicle, a spot utility vehicle .
Abah was said to be on his way to attend a stakeholders meeting on
the need for a peaceful conduct of the aborted House of Assembly
elections in the council.
It was gathered that the gunmen on sighting the council boss official
vehicle, blocked the road but did not come out on seeing that his
Police orderly wanted to come out.
The Police orderly was said to have come out of the car to
investigate why the Mazda blocked the road and immediately the gunmen
saw he was fast approaching them they opened fire, forcing the Police
orderly to run into the bush.
The gunmen were said to have dragged Abah from his vehicle into the
Mazda and moved towards to the waterside escaping with a speedboat....post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com
“The armed men dragged the council Chairman from his vehicle and
transferred him into a blue colored Mazda. They drove him away towards
waterside. At the waterside, he was taken to a speedboat already
stationed there. The driver of the Blue Mazda was shot in the leg for
refusing to follow the gunmen and their victim into the waiting
speedboat. The Mazda was later set ablaze by the armed men along the
waterside and the number plate taken away,” the witness said.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Mr. Ansim Butwats
confirmed the development and said preliminary investigations indicated
that the gunmen took Abah to the Abua waterways in Rivers state.
