The general state of insecurity in the country was again brought to the fore when the chairman of Ahoada West Local Government Council of Rivers State, Mr. Awori Miller, was kidnapped along Rufus Ada-George Road in Port Harcourt, the state capital on Saturday.
As at press time, the council chairman’s whereabouts remained unknown while no demand for ransom had been made by his abductors.
Family members at Mr. Miller’s Port Harcourt residence on Sunday morning confirmed the incident but declined giving further details.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko, ASP, while also confirming the kidnap on Sunday afternoon, said the state police command was making ‘serious efforts’ to secure the council chairman’s release.
