Breaking news:Gunmen kidnap 74 year old woman, Ikio and grand daughter in Bayelsa

Gunmen have abducted a 74-year-old woman, identified simply as Ikio and her granddaughter, Rose Joseph in Bayelsa State.
The septuagenarian is the mother of Samuel Walter, the monarch of Agrisaba communityin Nembe Local Government Area of the state.
It was learnt that the elderly woman was whisked away along with Rose about 3am on Sunday through the waterways of Agrisaba.
It was learnt that youths from the community, which is under the Mini-Ikensi Rural Development Authority, had been combing the creeks to locate the whereabouts of the aged mother and her granddaughter.
The hoodlums were said to have arrived the community through the waterways, making it easy for them to seize their victims.
A community source, who craved anonymity, said the gunmen went straight to the house of their victims which is located close to the creeks.
The source said, “They didn’t fire any bullet. The house of the woman is close to the creeks so it was easy for them to access it through the waterways.
“They bundled the woman and her granddaughter into a speedboat and fled to an unknown place.”
Agrisaba, a riverine community, has been embroiled in a kingship tussle with many of the chiefs condemning the process that led to the emergence of Walter as their king.
Many of the chiefs had also fled the community after they were attacked by youths said to be loyal to the king.
When contacted, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Hillary Opara, said the police were investigating the abduction.
