Gunmen have abducted Joshua Rogers, a reporter with Channels TV, in Rivers state.
Punch reports that Rogers was abducted on
Thursday night near his residence in Rumuosi, Obio/Akpor LGA.
The journalist was said to have covered the inauguration of
a healthcare facility in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA, as donated to the state
government by Peter Odili, former governor of Rivers.
He was returning home when he was abducted.
When contacted, Joseph Johnson, commissioner for information
in Rivers, said he is not aware of the development.
The commissioner said he exchanged pleasantries with the reporter
at the event on Thursday, promising to verify the kidnapping and revert to
TheCable.
Grace Iringe-Koko, police spokesperson in Rivers, declined
comment on the reporter’s abduction.
Rogers’ abductors have reportedly contacted the family and
are demanding N30 million in ransom.
