| Bayelsa State’s Governor, Mr. Seriake Dickson |
Unidentified gunmen Saturday abducted Nancy Keme Dickson, the younger
sister to the Bayelsa State’s Governor, Mr. Seriake Dickson.
Nancy, 26, who was said to be the last child of the Dicksons was
kidnapped at her shop located in Okaka Road, Yenagoa, the state capital.
According to the nation news; It was gathered that the gunmen who reportedly drove in an ash Lexus
Jeep, trailed their target to her shop and whisked her away to an
unknown place at about 2:50pm.
It was unclear how the assailants managed to abduct their victim in a
broad daylight in a city guarded at strategic points by patrol vehicles
of the state’s security outfit, Operation Door Akpo.
Investigations revealed that shortly after the incident the police
mounted stop and search operations on vehicles at different parts of the
city
Most residents claimed that the incident was politically motivated.
Dickson, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is facing a fierce reelection battle in the ongoing governorship poll in the state.
Though the governor leads with over 33,000 votes, the rerun poll in Southern Ijaw and about 112 other polling units, which had been fixed for January 9, 2016, makes the contest competitive and tight.
Bayelsa has been under the throes of kidnapping with persons close to governorship candidates abducted.
The cousin to the Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), chief Timipre Sylva; the centenarian mother of his running mate, Chief Wilberforce Igiri and the wife of an APC chieftain and former acting Governor, Nestor Binabo, were among persons abducted before the poll.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Asinim But swat, confirmed the abduction of Nancy.
