A group of kidnappers have reportedly abducted the treasurer
of the Delta State branch of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, Mr. Titus Okotie.
Okotie, who is vying for the state chairmanship seat in the
forthcoming NUT election, was kidnapped by unknown gunmen along the Kwale and
Ozoro axis of the Ughelli-Asaba Expressway on Friday morning.
Sources told our correspondent that the victim was
travelling with his daughter to Ughelli from Asaba, the state capital, when his
vehicle was ambushed by his abductors about 8am on Friday.
A source said the kidnappers forcibly took their victim and
left behind his car and the daughter.
It was however not clear as of the time of filing this
report if Okotie’s abductors had established contact with the victim’s family.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Andrew
Aniamaka, confirmed the abduction but added that a crack team had been deployed
to ensure he is rescued unhurt.
