Rivers State Revenue Board Director Aribibia Fubara Abducted By Gunmen

A director of the Rivers State Board of Internal Revenue Service, Aribibia Fubara, has been abducted by gunmen.

Reports indicate that Fubara was taken by a group of gunmen who arrived at the Marine Base area of Port Harcourt, the state capital, via the Okrika Waterfront in a speedboat.

Eyewitnesses say the gunmen, about six in number, executed the abduction in a commando style. They fired shots into the air to create panic, quickly identified Fubara, forced him into their boat, and sped away.

As of now, the kidnappers have not made contact with Fubara’s family.

The spokesperson for the State Police Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the incident and said an investigation is underway.

“Yes, the command is aware of the incident. The Commissioner of Police has ordered the deployment of all tactical units and alerted all area commanders to ensure he is rescued unhurt,” she said. “Additionally, the CP has directed that all efforts be made to apprehend the suspects and bring them to justice.”
