Tolani Alausa, the Bayelsa State Commissioner of Police, has stated that he has dispatched the command’s tactical force to apprehend the abductors of an INEC official who was kidnapped on her way to her site of duty in Sagbama on Friday night.
Alasua claimed that the police had discovered the name of the culprit alleged to have carried out the terrible act while roaming around to witness the conduct of the election in Bayelsa State.
Alausa Said, “One of the INEC officials who was taking some materials to one particular local government that is Sagbama, they were supposed to take a boat to Sagbama, and in the course of that, some hoodlums attacked her and took her away with the ballot materials. Since that last night, I’ve deployed all my tactical team, and we are trying to fish out who did this heinous act.”
Further said, “As of this morning, I got information that the man’s name is one Jonah Adaka. I contacted a few of the people I felt may have known him but nobody was able to reach him, so we are still on the situation. Then there was a boat mishap, and fortunately, nobody died in that, but the electoral materials sank.”
The INEC’s Supervising Presiding Officer (SPO) assigned to registration area 06 in Ossioma, Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State was reportedly kidnapped by unknown gunmen.
