A GANG of eight armed thugs on Wednesday evening in Warri, Delta State abducted a female magistrate, 31-year-old Mrs. Emuobome J. Bazunu-Sokoh.


Investigations by Vanguard showed that the kidnap of Magistrate Bazunu-Sokoh was allegedly sponsored by a female colleague in the state, who accused her and another friend of dating her husband.


Mrs. Edirin Bazunu, a civil servant and mother of the kidnapped magistrate who confirmed the abduction of her daughter told Vanguard, yesterday, in Warri, “The kidnappers, numbering about eight came to my house at the Delta Development Property Authority (DDPA) Estate, Warri at about 6.30 pm in two vehicles and started breaking the doors, windows and ordered her daughter, who was inside the house to follow them or she would be killed”.


She said they beat the daughter, as they dragged her out of the house and bundled her into their vehicle before she was driven away to an unknown hideout.


Mrs. Bazuna said that she immediately alerted the State Security Service and the Police at Ugborikoko, Delta State and a manhunt was launched for the thugs, who called her daughter’s friend on phone, threatening that they would deal with the magistrate if she did not show up.


Investigations by Vanguard showed that the suspect had earlier invited the magistrate to her father’s house on the pretext that she wanted her to assist her with information on a divorce case involving the husband of her senior sister.


Mrs. Bazunu-Sokoh was said to have innocently visited the family house, not knowing that it was a set up. She was beaten up by thugs on the orders of her host and was only rescued by some good Samaritans.


Not satisfied with her escapades, the suspect allegedly dispatched thugs to her house, who kidnapped her and gave her another round of beating before she was dumped at the B’ Division, Okumagba Layout, Warri where she was rescued by the police.


Mrs. Bazunu said her daughter denied knowing or dating anyone.


She said the said husband who the chief magistrate spuriously claimed her daughter and her friend were dating did not even sound coherent when she called his number to speak with him, suggesting that it was a calculated design by the chief magistrate to ridicle her daughter.


The magistrate who was shocked at the treatment meted on her by a learned colleague was understood to have left for Asaba, Thursday morning to personally report the incident to the Delta State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Jacob Oshiomog.

I see Deepzone has come again. Is this in response to my kidnapping thread? 

How do you know it is MEND? Did the article even mention MEND's name? It did not even mention the word 'militants'. A woman hired some Area boys to beat up a colleague who slept with her husband and you attach MEND's name to it. Wonders shall never end.

If we believe that those ibo traders were kidnapped by Yorubas because it happened in Owo, why should this one be different?

and who say "some people " arnt terroise! they buku for ondo

Firstly, this woman cannot afford the services of any militant who is worth a grain of salt. There is much more money to be made in the creeks.

You seem to be the only one offended by the thread. The thread was made out of a genuine spirit and in reaction to you guys labelling of Ijaws as kidnappers. It was only in response to the nonsense you guys have been posting on Nairaland for ages. If we are to keep accounts, I still have a million more threads to post just to even the score. You call us kidnappers every day of the week, yet the only time the tables are turned, you get offended?

Unlike Obama, agbero boys are not sexist. Their thuggery doesn't discriminate based on gender.
