Gunmen kidnap Rivers LG chairman in Port Harcourt hotel
Three unknown gunmen on Saturday night stormed a hotel based in Port Harcourt and kidnapped the Chairman of Ahoada West Local Government Area, Mr. Awori Miller. Miller, who was whisked away by the hoodlums at Acania Hotel in Ada George area of the Rivers State capital, was said to have been abducted without any challenge. It was gathered that the gunmen, who were with AK-47 guns, had gone into the hotel and dragged him into a waiting vehicle that immediately sped off to an unknown destination. It could not be immediately ascertained if the kidnapped council chairman was with his security detail when the incident occurred. The Assistant State Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the abduction of the council chairman in Port Harcourt. “At about 2200hrs, a report was received at Rumuopirikom Division of the State Police Command, Port Harcourt, that one Barrister Awori Miller, the Local Government Chairman of Ahoada West, was kidnapped by three armed men at Acania Hotel at Ada George in Port Harcourt,” Iringe-Koko said through a text message to our correspondent. She, however, said investigation had begun into the matter with a view to rescuing the council chairman and apprehending those behind his abduction. Source: PUNCH
