Seven travelers have been reportedly abducted along the Onne waterways in Rivers State.
It was gathered that gunmen struck on Monday when the travelers were onboard the boat heading for Port Harcourt.
The Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Grace Iringe-Koko has confirmed the incident.
She said 20 passengers were aboard the boat.
“Yes, the O.C Marine, informed me that a boat carrying 20 passengers from Bonny to Onne was intercepted by daredevil sea pirates along the Onne River where they were robbed before seven of them were abducted and taken to an unknown destination,” she said.
The identities of the kidnapped individuals and the motives behind the abduction remain unclear at this time.
