A sister of President Goodluck Jonathan's Special Assistant on Research and Strategy, Mr. Oronto Douglas, was kidnapped by gun men on Monday night in Ogbia, the President’s Local Government area in Bayelsa State.
The victim, Augusta Douglas Ayam, who runs a shop at her residence in Ogbia, is reported to have been picked up in her home by the abductors.
The kidnappers were said to have arrived, shooting into the air to scare people away. They then seized Augusta and took her away in a boat to an unknown destination in the creeks.
Sources at the Joint Task Force headquarters in Yenagoa confirmed that the incident has been reported.
A manhunt for the kidnappers has been launched.
A family spokesperson, Gift Douglas, also confirmed here that Ms. Augusta was abducted stating that the kidnappers have not contacted the family.
Kidnapping is a 9-5 job in nigeria now,but I only tot they were on recess!
ReplyDeleteI pray she's safe wherever she is.
A very big and lucrative business, when abductors pay handsomely for their freedom.Since nobody has been made a scapegoat, when politicians use it to intimidate their rivals,when wives also hide and claim been kidnapped and when our so called policemen dont do anything, hence they(kidnappers) have turned it into business.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Nigeria and keep us away frm Kidnappers.
Let them restrict it to the rich thieving politicians.
ReplyDeleteJane, u got it right. When wives pretend to be kidnapped and demand 200k from husband as ransom. I could not help wondering where we r heading in this country.
ReplyDeleteA married woman told her bf to kidnap her and demand for 10million frm her husband...very lucrative biz indeed.
ReplyDeleteChoi. So she just dey fuck the boyfriend dey go, while the husband dey hustle for 10mn
DeleteWell Genny, your pocket money is intact. Uncle Oronto can pay ransom & still afford your Chanel/Guiseppe lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteOnpe!
ReplyDeleteBetter them than the masses who are innocently going about their hustling
Then there are the small small razz neighbourhood kidnappers that do their own for as little as 19k ransom
ReplyDeleteKidnappn na serious business in nigeria nw ooo......Smh God help us all
ReplyDeleteIt's bad you know?
ReplyDeleteKiddnapping is not a job in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteWell said Jayne. Nothing to add
ReplyDeletethat is very good,they need to chop inside the national cake one way or another.
ReplyDeletePastor Bakare said this in 2011,that it will get to a stage where the families of those destroying this country will begin to reap the fruits.
if they ensconce themselves inside aso rock lets see if they will pack their extended family friends and acquaintances inside aso rock as well.
you just start
Do I trust these politicians? The answer is NO! They can begin to arrange to kidnap themselves and their family members to further loot the treasury. Don't be too shocked to hear "Ransom Allowance" sometime soon. Hisssssdd
ReplyDeleteThe chicken has finally come home to roost.
ReplyDeleteGood job! Kidnappers let those politicians (and their family members) that are killing the country's economy be your target at all times and nigerians will be solidly behind you, and pls spare the ordinary nigerians who are also suffering the impact of corruption orchestrated by some of these heartless politicians.
ReplyDeleteLol 'Ransome allowance' very possible, with the kind of politicians we ve, we expect nothing less.
