Gunmen kidnap senator’s wife in Rivers

Wife of Senator George Seiko, representing Rivers Senatorial District, Princess Seiko, has been kidnapped in the outskirts of Port Harcourt.
Mrs. Seiko was abducted by gunmen on new Airport Road by Oberg Ikwerre Complex on the East-West Road axis.

The incident occurred just as the lifeless body of a man identified simply as George was found at Kalioama community in Okrika area of the State.
The senator’s wife was said to have been abducted at 8.40 pm while driving her car.
It was not clear whether she had a companion in the vehicle at the time of the attack.

Also, the whereabouts of both the victim and her captors remained unknown as at press time.
In another development, a middle-aged man was killed at Kalioama, an Okrika community.

Village sources suspected that the deceased, identified as George, may have been strangulated.
Efforts to get the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Benjamin Ugwuegbulam (DSP), to comment on the incidents were unsuccessful.
However, it was gathered that the police have launched a manhunt for the hoodlums.wp_posts
