Some daring gunmen on Friday
successfully kidnaped the wife and son of Chief Gbalipre Turner, younger
brother of King Amalate Turner, the Obanema of Opume Kingdom and state treasurer of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP).
The incident took place at the
family house in Opume, Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State and it was subsequently confirmed by the
Bayelsa Police Command.
The level of insecurity in the
home state of president Goodluck Jonathan has of recent been on the rise as
this abduction was the second in two days, following the abduction of the
78-year old father of the Commissioner of Tourism Development, Nelson Belief.
It is to be noted that President
Jonathan hails from Ogbia, where a sister of one of his aides, Oronto Douglas,
faced a similar fate last month.
No contact has been made with the
family so far by the kidnappers, a source said.
