Details have it

Unidentified gunmen have kidnapped Mrs. Seighe Dike, the younger sister to Mr. Henry Ofongo, the member representing Bayelsa State’s Southern Ijaw Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

It was gathered that the bandits stormed her Igbomotoru community in Southern Ijaw at about 11pm and whisked her away to an unknown place.

The gunmen, who were said to have operated on speedboats, broke into her house and met and her husband.
The kidnappers reportedly gave the victim and her husband the beating of their lives before forcing her to the waterside where they pushed her into their speedboat and zoomed off.
Sources in the community said the gunmen shot sporadically into the air to scare the villagers before running away with their victim.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Bayelsa State command, Mr. Asinim Butswat, said the police arrested three persons in connection with the incident.
Butswat said police were on the trail of other fleeing suspects and assured that they would be captured.
