Uncertainty
and palpable yesterday enveloped Ughelli kingdom in Ughelli North Local
Government Area of Delta State, following the abduction of Queen Gladys
Oharisi, one of the wives of HRM Oharisi III by yet to be identified
gunmen.
It was learnt that the queen was intercepted on her way
from school where she went to register her courses at the Delta State
University, Abraka.
According to a family source, the hoodlums
trailed the victim to somewhere around Orogun on Abraka Road before
intercepting her car with a Toyota Sienna bus.
The source added
that three occupants of the bus came out, leaving the driver behind the
steering, brandishing their guns at her and two others in her company.
“Our
queen was pushed into the waiting Sienna bus and whisked away. The
driver and the other occupant were spared” the source volunteered.
Confirming
the incident, a senior police officer attached to the Ughelli ‘B’
Division said the police was on top of the situation.
The police
officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: “Our resolve to
check criminal activities in the area and bring them to book is
unshaken. I can assure you we will fish them out.”
