Yet to be identified gunmen have abducted Miss Nancy Dickson, younger sister to the Bayelsa state Governor, Seriake Dickson according to Police sources.
Asinim Butswat, an Assistant Superintendent of Police and spokesman for Bayelsa Police Command, confirmed the development to SaharaReporters.
According to Butswat, Nancy, 26, was kidnapped at her shop located at Okaka Road, Yenagoa, the state capital on Saturday.
It was gathered that the gunmen driving in an ash-colored Lexus SUV trailed Nancy to her shop and whisked her away to an unknown destination at about 2:50 pm.
Insecurity in Bayelsa capital is evident with several kidnap incidents reported weekly despite the presence of state’s security outfit christened, "Operation Door Akpo" at strategic spots in Yenagoa.
The Police, however, said that that shortly after the incident was reported them they have mounted stop and search operations on vehicles at different parts of the city.
