Kidnappers abduct Delta commissioner’s wife

Theresa

Some gun-wielding kidnappers have abducted Mrs. Theresa Sakpra, the wife of the Delta State Commissioner for Special Duties, Chief Henry Sakpra.

The woman was whisked away around Ekete Inland Junction, along DSC Expressway, in the Udu Local Government Area of the state.

Sources told newsmen that Theresa was abducted by the hoodlums on her way home from her shop at about 6.15pm last Thursday, after dropping one of her salesgirls along the expressway. She was said to have been taken to an unknown destination.

A political associate of the commissioner, who pleaded not to be identified, confirmed the incident.

“She was taken away in her car, but the vehicle was later recovered the following day along the Effurun/Ughelli end of the East-West Road,” he added.

It was not clear on Sunday if the abductors had contacted the Sakpra family for any ransom as efforts to speak with the husband were unsuccessful.

The spokesman for the Delta State Police Command, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, declined to speak on the incident, but a senior police officer in the command confirmed the abduction of the commissioner’s wife.
