On Friday night, unknown gunmen kidnapped Mrs Onyi Ugba, a famous businesswoman, at Okija Street, Mile 2 Diobu, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The gunmen stormed the Superstore of Mrs Ugba, located at Umuoji junction/Okija Street, demanding that the businesswoman hand over all the money she made from sales for the day.
However, when she could not provide enough money, the gunmen got infuriated, changed their plan and abducted her.
Meanwhile, personnel of Mile 1 Police Diobu arrived at the scene minutes after the hoodlums had left.
Speaking on the incident, the spokesperson for the Rivers State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, a Superintendent of Police (SP), confirmed the incident to journalists.
According to her, efforts have been intensified by the command to rescue the victim unhurt and arrest the fleeing suspects.
In December 2022, armed gang members robbed Mrs Ugba of money, running into millions, when they stormed her Superstore in the same area.
