Gunmen have struck again in Delta State, kidnapped the wife of the lawmaker, representing Warri South Constituency at the Delta State House of Assembly, Mrs. Christy Uroye, and killed the orderly attached to her.

Her husband, Hon. Augustine Uroye, is said to be suffering great trauma on receiving the news
The sad incident was said to have happened around 6:30 p.m yesterday, September 2, 2024, at Jakpa Road in Uwvie Local Government Area of the State.
The Police Public Relations Office in the state, SP Bright Edafe confirmed the incident but swiftly stated that “the operation was not successful”.
Few hours later, a source said the operational vehicle of the hoodlums had an accident along the road while they were driving recklessness to escape with the victim.
“God saved the woman as her captors car crashed along the troubled Jakpar road. She is now receiving treatment in a private hospital in the locality”, the source said.
No one confirm whether the abductors were arrested.
