A group of gunmen have kidnapped Madam Martha Binabo, the wife of former acting governor of Bayelsa state and currently House of Reps member, Nestor Binabo.
Vanguard reports that the incident happened on June 29, Monday, at Agbura community in the outskirts of Yenagoa the state capital.
The 48-year-old victim was abducted at about 11.30am by five armed men clad in military camouflage in front of a company where she is the director.
The gunmen reportedly lured their victim outside the company’s gate for a talk, then forced her into a waiting car and drove towards Otuokpoti sand dump.
“Two of the gunmen alighted from the vehicle and accosted the woman. They told her that they were sent by the Commander, Joint Task Force (JTF), Operation Pulo Shield to bring her to JTF headquarters.
“The workers of the woman did not raise any alarm as the bandits forced the woman into their vehicle and zoomed off. They fired no bullet before whisking her away,” the source who pleaded anonymity told The Nation.
The criminals were said to have abandoned and set ablaze their car by the water side. After that the gunmen escaped into the creek in a waiting speedboat with their victim.
