This is even as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has nabbed some internet fraudsters, popularly known as ‘Yahoo Yahoo Boys’ in Asaba, capital of Delta State.

The abduction of the victims Sunday evening took place at about 8.p.m, when the abductors fired several gunshots into the air to scare away passers-by and foil any form of resistance.

Details of the incident are still sketchy, but eyewitnesses said the gunmen came in a Sienna car while the couple and the young man were whisked away from a popular supermarket along the police station road where they came to purchase certain items.

After the operation, the kidnappers also made an attempt on another individual who narrowly escaped. The man was said to be driving in his Mercedes Benz car. Sources said the hoodlums shot at him and the man in his company, adding that they managed to escape without any injury while in the process, an Okada rider was hit by the driver of the Mercedes Benz.
