Gunmen have seized the monarch of Ikuru town in the Andoni Local Government Area of Rivers State, Aarom Ikuru.
He was said to have been abducted at his residence on Sunday night with some boat travellers, including a lecturer at the University of Port Harcourt, who were returning to Port Harcourt from Andoni.
They were whisked away by armed men suspected to be pirates.
Spokesman for the monarch, Mr Maurice Ikuru, confirmed the kidnap to The PUNCH on Monday morning.
He said, “Yes, it’s true. It happened about 8:30am or 9pm.”
Spokesman for the Rivers State Police Command, Nnamdi Omoni, also confirmed that some Port Harcourt-bound travellers were kidnapped but was yet to get their identities.
“I can confirm that some persons who were coming back from Andoni were ambushed and kidnapped. Investigation is on-going to get the details,” Omoni stated.
