The younger sibling of Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, was kidnapped on Saturday at about 2:50pm, reports have indicated.
Nancy Dickson was abducted alongside her sales girl, Bayelsa State police public relations officer, Asinim Butswat told newsmen late Saturday.
“On December 19, 2015, at about 1450hrs, four unknown gunmen in an ash Lexus Jeep, trailed one Nancy Keme Dickson, 26, to her shop at Okaka Road, Yenagoa, and abducted her and her sales girl to an unknown destination,” Butswat said in a statement.
“Immediately the command was alerted, it embarked on a stop and search/cordon operations in a bid to rescue the victims and apprehend the perpetrators.
“Efforts have been intensified to arrest the abductors and investigation is ongoing.”
Nigeria’s U-23 coach, Samson Siasia, also recently had his mother kidnapped in Bayelsa.
Nigeria’s South-South and South-East zones have carved a reputation as abduction hot-spots for quite some time now. Kidnappers normally ask for hefty ransoms to set their victims free. Families of politicians, top government functionaries and celebrities, are prime targets.
