Gunmen kidnap Bolt driver, female passenger in Calabar

A driver with a company, Bolt, has been reportedly abducted alongside a female passenger in Calabar, the Cross River State capital.

The incident was said to have occurred at the staff quarters of the University of Calabar (UNICAL), the destination of the driver, on Tuesday, November 28.

The Bolt driver identified as Jeremiah Enya was said to have been with three passengers when the incident occurred.

While he was abducted with a female passenger, it was gathered that the two other occupants in the vehicle were left in the car.

It was learnt that the kidnappers whisked their two victims away via the car they came with while they abandoned the Bolt driver’s car.

The staff of the university have recently become targets for kidnappers in Calabar.

The UNICAL Director of Servicom, Prof. Patrick Egaga, was recently abducted at his residence in the staff quarters.

His abductors reduced their ransom from the earlier N50 million demanded to N15 million, a demand yet to be met by his family.

Meanwhile, the Cross River State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Irene Ugbo, declined comment on the latest abduction, saying she had not been briefed on the incident.
