Akari was allegedly kidnapped on Friday along the river on his way to Ayakoro community in Ogbia local government area of the state, the hometown of the NDDC managing director, Dr Samuel Ogbuku.

Though the Bayelsa State Police Command had yet to make any official statement about the incident at the time of this report, a source from the community said a combined team of security operatives in the area have been deployed for his rescue.

According to the source, the kidnappers stopped the boat conveying Akari and others on the river, pulled him into their own boat and tried to get away when the engine of their boat malfunctioned.

He stated that the kidnappers had to paddle the boat to the bank of the river before running into the bush with the victim, adding that security agents including police officers in the area have commenced a search for him.
