Brave Dickson

One Meelubari Lenebari, a female farmer from Uegwere Boue Community in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State is still missing after she was kidnapped on October I, the day the country celebrated its 61st Independence.

The female farmer on the said day went to the farm alongside, a female community member, Victoria Doo Naalube to carry out farming activities on land their neighboring community is laying claim to.

While Naalube was shot and abandoned by their attackers who thought she was dead, Lenebari was taken away by the gunmen.

Speaking with our correspondent, the Community Development Committee Chairman of Uegwere Boue Community, Adoobe Nueasi said, “Naalube painstakingly crawled with a bullet in her body from the farm to a vehicular road.

“Some good Samaritans who saw her bleeding immediately rushed her to the hospital and she is undergoing some surgeries now.”

Husband to the missing female farmer, Beabu Lenebari also told our correspondent that the abductors of his wife have refused to establish contacts with anyone.

He said, “the police, DSS and the Khana council authority have been informed and we don’t know why the abductors have refused to communicate to us.”

The insinuation from other members of Uegwere Boue Community suggested that the abducted woman may have been killed by her abductors.
