The younger sister of Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State, has been rescued after spending over two months in the hands of kidnappers.
A
statement issued on Monday by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Daniel
Iworiso-Markson, said 26-year-old Nancy Dickson, was rescued on Sunday evening
from her abductors without any payment of ransom.
According
to him, “some of the kidnappers took to their heels while others were
apprehended following a tip off on their hideout.”
While calling on the people of the state not to succumb to
the demands of ransom made by kidnappers, 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.
