Yenagoa—More details have emerged following the alleged abduction of Chief Edward Irigha-Brigidi, the member representing Nembe Constituency 2 in the Bayelsa State House of Assembly under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Mangrovepen.ng had reported that the lawmaker was abducted in Azikoro town, a suburb of Yenagoa, the state capital by gunmen.
However, a source close to the lawmaker revealed to our reporter that the lawmaker was “whisked away by SWAT operatives from Abuja. He is currently at the State CID.
‘They were on a mission to search and arrest him based on a petition filed against him by some desperate politicians.”
The source also alleged that “it was the Bayelsa State governor who intervened last night, if not they would have taken him to Abuja this morning via Port Harcourt International Airport.”
All efforts to speak with the spokesman of the Bayelsa State Police Command proved abortive while filing this report.
