TVC E, NEWS – Grief, agony, sorrow are not enough words to describe the mood of the family of Samule Okies, the abducted 35-year-old nephew to former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Okies was found dead along the waterway of Otuoke, Jonathan’s community in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

He was reportedly abducted on Wednesday alongside Jonathan’s 72-year-old foster father, Chief Inegite Nitaba.

It was gathered that some fishermen from Otuoke found the remains of the deceased floating on the Otuoke River on Thursday evening.

Sources from the community said the deceased went missing shortly after Inengite was abducted.

According to them, the recovery of the body confirmed their fears that Okies was also a victim of the kidnap.

Other sources said Okies might have been killed by gunshots fired during Inengite’s abduction.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said there was apprehension over the safety of Inengite in the community.

“We are worried about the safety of our uncle. The men that abducted them have killed Okies and we pray they don’t touch our uncle,” the source said.

Prior to his death, Okies was said to have always been in the company of the abducted foster father.

Unidentified gunmen kidnapped Inengite, a first cousin and foster father to former Jonathan and was whisked away from his residence in Otuoke on Wednesday.
