Gunmen in Military Camouflage Abduct Two Cousins of President Jonathan in Bayelsa

Armed gunmen have again struck in the creek of Bayelsa State kidnapping two maternal cousins of President Goodluck Jonathan at Akipelai in Ogbia local government area of the state.

The victims, both female, identified as Patience Egbeni aged 35 and Kate Eni, were reportedly seized Tuesday at gunpoint and whisked away from the sleepy riverine settlement, hometown of the president mother.

Eyewitnesses told Vanguard that the unidentified gunmen, numbering six, clad in military camouflage, stormed the community at about 8.30am and seized the women from their provision stores along the waterfront.

The gunmen were said to have forced their victims into a waiting speedboat and disappeared into the creek.
