Police in Rivers State has on Tuesday said that the white Venza car used by the abductors of a Port Harcourt-based female lawyer, Bisola Paullete Ajayi, belonged to another kidnapped victim.

Mukan said preliminary investigations showed that the gunmen earlier kidnapped a man and used his car to whisk the lawyer away the same day.
The Commissioner explained;
One woman reported that her husband left home and did not come back. We asked her some vital questions and we understand that her husband’s car was the one that was snatched. He too was abducted and they use the car to abduct Bisola (Ajayi).
We were able to track her phones. Efforts have been intensified to ensure her unconditional release.
Be assured that it is our responsibility to protect every citizen.
