Ex-Bayelsa Gov’s Uncle Abducted

Pa Benson Adigio-Eseni, an octogenarian uncle to the former governor of Bayelsa State, Mr. Timipre Sylva, has been kidnapped.

It was learnt that he was abducted at 2am on Sunday from his home at Okpoama in Brass Local Government.

Sources said the abductors rode in a speedboat and shot sporadically before seizing the victim.

They were said to have fled into the creeks with the octogenarian.

A relation of the victim, Austin Adigio, confirmed the incident.

“It’s true, he (Adigio-Eseni) was kidnapped last night about 2am,” he said.

Police spokesman Alex Akhigbe said the police were yet to receive signals on the kidnap of Adigio-Eseni.
