Some unidentified gunmen have carried out a series of daring attacks along the waterways in Rivers State, abducting at least 16 people in separate incidents.
The first assault was said to have occurred near the Borikiri axis of Port Harcourt, where pirates intercepted a wooden cargo boat en route to Bonny in the Bonny Local Government Area.
While there were five passengers aboard, three were forcibly taken away on Tuesday.
However, an elderly man and the boat driver were left behind.
In a chilling repeat of violence, another boat, piloted by the same captain whose vessel was attacked just weeks prior, was ambushed near Isaka in Okrika LGA.
