Wife of the Delta State Commissioner for Special Duties, Chief Henry Sakpra has been kidnapped by some unknown gunmen around Ekete Inland Junction, along DSC Expressway, in the Udu Local Government Area of Delta state.
The kidnappers abducted Mrs. Theresa Sakpra, on her way home from her shop at about 6.15pm last Thursday, after dropping one of her salesgirls along the expressway.
Our Source disclosed that Mrs. Sakpra was taken away in her car, but the vehicle was later recovered the following day along the Effurun/Ughelli end of the East-West Road
The Udu Youth Council who had earlier condemned the kidnap however have appealed to the hoodlums to release the victim without further delay, describing the spate of kidnapping in the state as worrisome.
Udu Youths Council, in a statement by their President, Mr. Otito Yembra, and three others, stated that “the abduction of Sakpra’s wife was not only an act of coward but also a desperate action from characters that seek to profit from their criminal conduct”
The youths added that the act was also a sore reminder of the growing resurgence of criminality in Urhobo land and Udu in particular.
Mr. Yembra in the statement said “We join friends, family and other well-meaning Nigerians in calling on the abductors of the respected Mrs. Theresa Sakpra to immediately release her unconditionally and unhurt. We are also calling on the security agencies to find Mrs. Theresa Sakpra without any delay,”
