The spokeswoman of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) in Edo state, Bridget Esene was on Sunday abducted by heavily armed men.
According to a report by NAN, an official of NIS reported that Esene was abducted in Benin while going to Church.
The gunmen had reportedly trailed her to Iqueniro area of Benin, dragged her out of her car, and whisked her into a waiting vehicle.
“She was abducted at her church premises, around Agbor road area, this morning. Her whereabouts is yet unknown, as her abductors are yet to speak with her family,” the source told NAN.
“Her car has been recovered where it was dumped at Agbor road bye-pass area, and we learnt that her abductors headed towards the Benin – Auchi road axis, off the by-pass.”
The Edo police command neither confirmed nor denied the abduction, as the spokesman said he is not in a position to speak on the matter.
