A traditional ruler in Bayesa State HRH Owei Dele Ere was kidnapped, in Rumuji Community, Emohua Local Government, Rivers State, as the man and his aides were driving towards Port Harcourt Sunday night.
Vanguard gathered that the traditional ruler may have been trailed from Yenagoa as his abductors, who were said to be driving in a black jeep, overtook the traditional ruler’s car violently, shooting sporadically and forcing the vehicle to a screeching halt.
Contacted, Police PRO Mr. Ben Uguegbulam said he was making his contacts and would get back to Vanguard. Several calls to Uguegbula were not returned until press time.
Eye witnesses said the shooting by the brigands caused pandemonium in the sleepy community tucked along the Port Harcourt – Ahoada Highway, on the East-West Road of Rivers State. It caused some fun seekers in drinking joints sprinkled along the road to flee in different directions.
The monarch is the Ibenanaowei of Ogboin Clan in Southern Ijaw Coucil of that state. His abduction is coming several days after the release of five members of the National Youth Service Corpse, who were kidnapped in Etche Community in the state.

No more onyibo to kidnap. Let his subjects raise the ransom. What goes around comes around!
You av said it all. Evil should not be neglected at little age cos it must mature one day to address the audience. It started and it is growing. Govt must learn from this to be active on boko haram.
