Briton's Wife Kidnapped in Port Harcourt
News Report today:Gunmen have kidnapped Mrs. Grace Dickson, wife of the owner of Bougainvillea Hotel in the new Government Reservation Area (GRA), Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The kidnap of the Briton’s wife took place around 11 pm on Sunday, when she drove to the gate of their yet-to-be-ascertained residence in Port Harcourt. No demand for ransom had been made as at last night.
Sources said amid sporadic gunshots, the hoodlums removed Mrs. Dickson’s eye glasses and moved her away in the car she drove to the gate, as the gateman was opening the gate for her to drive in.
It was also learnt that the gateman initially opened the gate, but when the woman was no longer driving in, she ignorantly closed the gate.
Shortly after the kidnap, the victim’s husband drove to the gate and the gateman opened the gate for him, parked normally and the gateman closed the gate, without informing him of the ugly development.
Yesterday morning, it was gathered that the gateman told his boss: “Oga, last (Sunday) night, they carry madam go. They don carry madam go. Me I no know where they carry am go.”
