Gunmen have abducted a director of the Rivers State Board of Internal Revenue Service, identified as Aribibia Fubara.
It was gathered that Fubara was abducted by the gunmen who came through the Okirika Waterfront in a speedboat to the Marine Base axis of Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The gunmen who were about six in number had stormed the area in a commando style, shot indiscriminately into the air, quickly identified their target, whisked him into their boat, and zoomed off.
The abductors had yet to make any contact with his family.
The spokesperson of the State Police Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, who confirmed the incident, said an investigation has commenced.
