Few days after four kidnappers, including a woman were arrested and
their victim rescued in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital by the
state police command, a daughter of a former senator was kidnapped
yesterday by gunmen.
The victim, Mrs. Diepreye Dagi Darego, daughter of Senator Nimi
Barigha-Amange, was kidnapped at 9.00 am on the Port Harcourt
International Airport road while she was
on her way to receive her
sister from the airport.
Confirming the incident on telephone, Senator Amange said the
hoodlums shot severally at the car his daughter was using before they
whisked her away to an unknown destination.
“My daughter, Mrs Diepreye Dagi Darego was kidnapped in Port Harcourt
today at 9am. She was going to the airport to pick her sister,” Amange
said in a text message.
According to him, Diepreye was planning her traditional marriage which was supposed to commence today in Bayelsa State.
He disclosed further that there has been communication between the
kidnappers and his relatives, expressing confidence that his daughter
would soon regain her freedom
When contacted, the Rivers State police public relations officer, Mr. Ben Ugwegbulam, denied knowledge of the incident.
...we pray they don't harm the girl, hope they find her safe.
