Reports claim that Ogiasa had been kidnapped in early June from his hometown, Otuabadi in Ogbia Local Government Area of the state.

Inside a flooded grave, he was pleading for his life half naked with a sack over his head saying, “Is the money more important than my life? You’re seeing me in the grave and the money is there doing nothing, Please do everything to come and release me.”

Meanwhile, Authorities of the Nigerian Police have reacted to the viral video showing the kidnapped Hon. Mike Ogiasa, pleading for ransom to be paid to his abductors for his release

The spokesman of the Bayelsa Police Command, Asinim Butswat, who confirmed the authenticity of the video, said the heads of security agencies have met on Friday night to brainstorm on new strategies to ensure he is rescued unhurt.

According to Butswat, the police want to assure the general public and families of the victim of their commitment to secure his safe release from kidnappers den. (Vanguard)
