Unknown gunmen have kidnapped Mr. Freddy Ndigbara an aide to Rivers State Governor and Director General of the All Progressives Congress Campaign Organization [APCCO], Sunday in Rivers State.
Ndigbara who was kidnapped at Kaani Community, Khana Local Government Area of the state during a ward rally organised by the All Progressives Congress in the area, is an anchorman to Governor Rotimi Amaechi’s events inside and outside Government.
Ndigbara is popularly called Freddie by Government House workers.
Speaking on the incident, a former Chief Press Secretary to Amaechi, Mr. Blessing Wikina, said a group of gunmen suspected to be thugs working for the Peoples Democratic Party, invaded the rally and took Ndigbara away.
“Yes, Freddie was kidnapped today by a group of men during a rally organised by the APC in Kaani Community Ward Six. The men came in a red Toyota Highlander and took him (Ndigbara) away,” Wikina, who is also an Ogoni indigene, said.
Describing Ndigbara as a gentleman and an easy-going journalist, Wikina condemned his abduction and called on the kidnappers to release him unconditionally.
“The action of those who kidnapped Freddie is condemnable and we call on them to release him unconditionally. Ndigbara is a gentleman that abhors violence,” he stressed.
