Gunmen kidnapped commissioner.

Twenty-four hours after the sister of the Bayelsa state Governor Seriake Dickson was kidnapped, suspected kidnappers struck in Ogbia Local Government Area and abducted the serving state Commissioner for Local Government, Mrs. Sarafina Otazi. A family member and nephew of the victim, Mr. Patrick Oba, said she was kidnapped on gunpoint in Otuoke on her way to Ewoi Community in Ogbia L0cal Government Area for a funeral. According to the family source, the kidnappers reportedly whisked away the victim, removed her car keys and left two female occupants who were with her in the vehicle, apparently to frustrate attempts to report the crime.
