Krinpere Douglas, a cousin to the All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Bayelsa, Chief Timipre Sylva, has been abducted.
The Nation gathered that Douglas was abducted on Monday by unknown gunmen.
He was reportedly abducted in the afternoon along the Ogbia-Brass waterways when the gunmen attacked boats conveying him and other Sylva’s supporters to a campaign rally in Brass local government area of the state.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Asinim Butswat, said the incident has not been officially reported to the police.
But the Director, Media and Publicity, Sylva/Igiri Campaign Organisation (SICO), Mr. Nathan Egba, confirmed the incident.
He said Douglas was the only one abducted from the boat after the attack.
“The victim was coming to the campaign but unfortunately, their boat was attacked by the gunmen who abducted and took him to an unknown destination,” he said.
