An unnamed source told newsmen, “The
victims are two maternal cousins of the President. We know that they
have been preparing to welcome the President after the May 29 handover.
Unless they are rescued before then, their dream of welcoming their
brother will be a mirage.”
Confirming the incident, Asinim, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), said one of the victims, Egbeni, is 35 years old.
“The
gunmen were dressed in military camouflage. They went to the provision
stores of the victims at the riverside and abducted them into a waiting
speedboat,” he said.
Efforts are currently being made to track down the culprits and release the women.
