Prince Emmanuel AmgbaDeltaduba, the oil and gas commissioner for the Delta State, managed to avoid being abducted.

On Monday, the Commissioner posted about this on his Facebook page.

The event, according to the commissioner, happened on Sunday about 7 o’clock while he was travelling to Warri, Delta State.

The article claims that the assailants attempted to kidnap him by blocking his car on the Nigerian Port Authority Motorway.

“Dear all, I want you to help me to thank God as the Almighty God protected me from the hands of kidnappers yesterday (Sunday) at about 7pm on my way into Warri Town, at the NPA expressway.

“A beige-coloured Toyota Camry rammed into me and forced my vehicle to come to a halt and two hefty young men popped out from the front seat of the car, one at the back and one guy rushing towards me.

“Without panicking, I put my car in reverse and faced the thug that came out from the passenger side of the car at full speed ahead. While he jumped off the road, I drove off and had a successful getaway.

He thanked God for his safety and cautioned drivers to drive carefully, especially along the Warri axis.

As of the time this report was filed, DSP Bright Edafe, the police spokesperson for Delta State Command, could not be reached for comments on the incident.
