No fewer than seven passengers travelling from Port Harcourt to Omoku, both in Rivers State, have been kidnapped, a caller to a Radio Station, 92.3 Nigeria Info, has said.
The caller, who gave his name as Kennedy and claimed to be a relative of one of the victims, said the incident happened on Sunday around 8pm.
He said his brother and other passengers in the vehicle left Port Harcourt for Omoku around 7pm on Sunday but when he called him on the phone his number was switched off.
“I kept trying the line but it was not reachable; later, a number called me and said I should bring N1.5m and I said: ‘From where’? The caller immediately switched off the phone as I asked the question,” he added
Kennedy appealed to security agencies and the state government to rescue his brother and other victims, adding that his family does not have N1.5m for ransom.
He called on security agencies and state government to intervene and rescue his brother and the other victims, adding that the family did not have the kind of money the kidnappers were demanding.
