Gunmen dressed in military uniform today whisked away the Rivers State governorship candidate of the National Rescue Movement in the 2023 general election, Sobomabo Jackrich, at his residence in Usokun in Degema Local Government Area of the state.
Also, it was gathered that two of his loyalists found when his residence was raided around 3 am today were shot dead by the assailants, and their remains were taken away along with Jackreech.
Jackrich was a former militant leader who embraced amnesty during the tenure of late President, Umar Yar’Adua.
When contacted, Jackrich’s media aide, Soibibo Sokari, confirmed the killing and the kidnapping of his principal to our correspondent.
Efforts to reach the acting Deputy Director, Division, Army Public Relations, Lt Col. Jonah Danjuma, proved abortive as he did not pick up calls put across to him as of the time of filing this report.
However, the spokesperson for the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed that it was not a case of kidnap but that Jackrich was with security personnel.
