Gunmen, yesterday, kidnapped a member of National Youth Services Corps (NYSC), Ms Maryjane Onoriode, deployed to Eku, Ethiope East Local Council of Delta State.
Ms Onoriode reportedly left Jesse, Ethiope West Local Council at about 4:20 p.m., and was kidnapped while returning to Eku.
According to The Guardian, the kidnappers have demanded N5million ransom for her release.
“We don’t know the particular road she took. We only have two alternative roads to Eku when you are coming from Oghara; one is Amokpe-Agholokpe-Okpara waterside road, and the other is Sapele-Warri road. We find ourselves in a situation that demands our immediate attention because her life is in grave danger,” a source said.
“The hoodlums are demanding a ransom of N5 million for her release, unfortunately, we do not have the means to meet this demand”.
When contacted, spokesperson of Delta State Police Command, Bright Edafe, confirmed the incident, and said that the police are on the matter.
