Delta State Commissioner for Oil and Gas, Prince Emmanuel Amgbaduba
Delta State Commissioner for Oil and Gas, Prince Emmanuel Amgbaduba, alleged he narrowly evaded a kidnapping attempt.
The commissioner disclosed in a post on his Facebook page on Monday that the incident occurred on Sunday evening at 7 p.m. on his way to the state capital.
Amgbaduba said the abductors blocked his car, along the Nigerian Port Authority Expressway in their efforts to kidnap him.
“A beige-coloured Toyota Camry rammed into me and forced my vehicle to come to a halt and two hefty young men popped out from the front seat of the car, one at the back and one guy rushing towards me,” Amgbaduba said.
“Without panicking, I put my car in reverse and faced the thug that came out from the passenger side of the car at full speed ahead. While he jumped off the road, I drove off and had a successful getaway.”
He, however, urged motorists to be vigilant, especially along the Warri axis. (The Guardian: Text, Excluding Headline)
