Unknown gunmen have kidnapped Jephthah Robert, a cousin of former president, Goodluck Jonathan.
It was gathered that he was kidnapped at 9.30pm on Tuesday in entrance of his home round Dimrose Highway in Yenagoa.
The sufferer is the elder brother of Azibaola Robert, who's the Founder and Chief Govt Officer of Zeetin Engineering Restricted.
Particulars of Jephthah's abduction had been sketchy however a spokesman for the State Police Command, SP Asinim Butswat, confirmed the incident in a terse response to inquiries.
Butswat mentioned, "He was picked up at Dimrose Highway in Yenagoa. We're intensifying effort to rescue him and arrest the abductors."
The kidnapping of Jonathan's cousin occurred barely 24 hours after the Bayelsa State Commissioner for Business, Commerce and Funding, Federal Otokito, was launched by his abductors.
Otokito was whisked away on January 20 from his residence in his neighborhood, Otuokpoti, within the Ogbia Native Authorities Space of the state.
He spent about 5 days within the custody of his assailants earlier than he was freed on Monday.
