At least nine passengers travelling in a
commercial vehicle along the Emohua Local Government axis of the East-West road
in Rivers State were kidnapped on the night of Wednesday, November 2, 2022.
A source from one of the communities in the
area, who confirmed the incident said the abduction took place at the boundary
between Evekwu and Rumuodogo in Emohua Local Government Area.
The source said policemen from the nearest
Elibrada Police Division arrived late at the scene after the hoodlums had
diverted their victims into a nearby bush.
This is the second of such attacks this
week.
On Tuesday, hoodlums reportedly blocked the
same axis of the road to rob commercial passengers of their belongings.
The Rivers State Police Command is yet to
comment on both incidents.
However, several sources claimed there is
now an agitation for the return of a local vigilante group in the area which
was disbanded by local government authorities.
