Authorities of the Bayelsa State Police Command have confirmed the abduction of the Operations Manager of Sterling Bank, Mrs Nneka Enuka UgoAnochie.
It was learnt she was abducted while on her way to the office. Her abduction around the Kpansia axis of Yenagoa, the state capital, caught many residents unaware due to the presence of multiple checkpoints manned by security operatives along the expressway.
Bayelsa State Commissioner of Police, Romokere Ibani, confirmed the incident during a press briefing at the command’s headquarters.
According to him: “On the 16th of June, at 8 am, four armed men dressed in military camouflage, operating with a red Lexus jeep, abducted Mrs Nneka Enuka UgoAnochie, along Otiotio Road, in Yenagoa Local Government Area, while driving to her office.”
He continued: “The police were alerted, and we embarked on a rescue mission, but the kidnappers abandoned their vehicle and whisked away their victim; the vehicle with registration number BWR 552 AW was recovered on East-West Road, and we have intensified our efforts in ensuring that she is rescued unhurt.”
