Delta State: Gunmen Abduct APC chieftain, Yakubu Kabututu Meghri

A member of the All Progressives Congress, Yakubu Kabututu Meghri, has been kidnapped by suspected gunmen in Delta State.

According to a report, the APC chieftain was kidnapped in front of a filling station at about  11 pm in Aladja community, Udu Local Government Area of Delta State.

It was reported that the gunmen shot sporadically in the area before taking away Meghri in a tinted Hiace bus that was reportedly stationed at the premises of the filling station before they zoomed off.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Mohammed Hafiz Inuwa, when contacted on the development, said, “I am not privy to that honestly.”

The Ovwian/Aladja Divisional Police Officer, CSP Akintunde O O said, “The only one we got is a missing person. That they suspect that it is SSS that came to arrest him.”

“So, if you’re now changing it to abduction, I don’t see where it correlates. That’s the only one I heard from the President of the community that somebody was picked and they said they suspect those people that picked him to be SSS and we have already done a signal of a missing person with his picture to be broadcast.”

According to Daily Post, the President of Aladja Community Council, Elder Ogbiruveta Otto, said, “Yes, it is true and it has been confirmed that an incident like that happened in Aladja.”

“As at yesterday, we have officially reported the matter to the Police. They said we should wait for 24 hours that they will declare him a missing person and that they have sent a signal to their headquarters so that the signal will go round that he is a missing person.”
