Gunmen Abducts Hon Jarigbe Agom's Younger Brother

The brother of Hon Jarigbe Agom, representing Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency, has been abducted by kidnappers in Calabar, Cross River State. 

According to reports, the incident happened along Marian Road on Saturday at about 11 pm when a gang of heavily armed men suspected to be kidnappers carried out the operation.

Sources noted that on Sunday night, the kidnappers did not establish any contact with the family.

When contacted, the Permanent Secretary, Security in the Governor’s Office, Dr. Alfred Mboto, said, “We are struggling to get him released. We got information about his kidnap and we are on top of the situation as well as in the process of rescuing him. I am not aware that the alleged kidnappers have contacted the family,” he lamented.

Also, the Special Adviser to the Governor Ayade on Security, South Mr. Ani Esin, said, “The press should now give us report; the press is part of the security. When I was in school, studying mass communications, there was that aspect of investigative journalism, that can aid the security, the press can assist us

“Everybody should now be part of the security so that we can get him out, not to ask us about the victim and all that, we need intelligence report and I think the press can also contribute in this regard,” he stated.
