Gunmen with sophisticated weapons
on Saturday abducted the 26-year-
old younger sister of Governor of
Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson –
Nancy Dickson – and her sales girl in
Bayelsa State.

Nancy was said to have been
abducted by four bad guys. The
abduction, it was learnt, occurred
around 3pm on Saturday at her shop
on Okaka Road, Yenagoa the state
capital.

It was gathered that the abductors
had trailed their victim (Nancy) to
her shop before seizing her and
bundling her and the salesgirl into
their ash-coloured Lexus Jeep.

It could not be ascertained if the
motive of the kidnappers was
political or not. It was however
gathered that the gunmen fired
gunshots to scare away residents of
the area before abducting their
targets.

A salesgirl in Nancy’s shop was also
whisked away with her to an
unknown destination.

When contacted, the authorities of
the Nigeria Police in the state
confirmed the abduction. Police PRO
in the state Command, Asinim
Butswat, said “Nancy was abducted
alongside her sales girl.”

He said as soon as they got
information on the abduction, the
Command embarked on a stop-and-
search/cordon operations in a bid to
rescue the victims and apprehend
the perpetrators.
