Simon Utebor, YenagoaUnknown gunmen, suspected to be kidnappers, have abducted Chief Numudogio Micah, a senior employee of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board with headquarters in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. The hoodlums were said to have contacted his family on Monday and demanded N30m ransom to set him free. However, Ijaw youths, under the auspices of Ijaw Youth Council, Brass Local Government chapter, have decried the abduction of their clansman. The youth frowned upon the abduction and demanded the immediate and unconditional release of the NCDMB employee. Describing the abduction as “unwarranted and unprovoked,” the Brass Chairman of IYC, Mr. Beledanyo Barass, said the victim, whom he described as a philanthropist, must be released unharmed.
