The abducted 26 years old sister of Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, Miss Nancy has regained freedom.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Daniel Iworiso-Markson.
According to the statement, “Some of the kidnappers took to their heels while others were apprehended following a tip off on their hideout”.
Governor Dickson assured that plans were underway to amend the Bayelsa State Secret Cult, Kidnapping and other Related Offences Prohibition Bill 2012 to proscribe payment of ransom in the state.
He stressed that the Bill when passed into law, would go a long way in putting a stop to kidnapping in the state. Dickson urged Bayelsans to take a cue from his personal experience with kidnappers when his aged mother was abducted in 2009 and efforts were made to secure her release without payment of ransom.
As part of efforts to stem criminal activities in the state, Governor Dickson said “a comprehensive security strategy would be launched soon to boost government’s policy of zero tolerance for crime and criminality.”
He therefore advised anyone or group of persons who indulge in the unwholesome practice to turn a new leaf as the full weight of the law would be brought to bear on any culprit.ry to the governor, Daniel Iworiso-Markson.
