The victim was said to have been whisked away to an unknown destination through a nearby river in the community.

Members of the community are still in fears as of the time of filing this report on Monday.

Delta State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hafiz Inuwa, confirmed the incident on Monday via phone.

He stated that the kidnappers had pretended to be patients who needed medical services.

Inuwa noted, “Yes. The people posed as patients, so the doctor was to treat them. They kidnapped him and took him inside the water. Maybe they came with a boat. But we have mobilised policemen to that place to see what they can do.”
