Famous Blogger and proprietor of Naijalivetv.com, Mienpamo Saint has been kidnapped by some unknown gunmen dressed in hoods, in his home town Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
According to report, the early morning kidnap that happened around 1:00am on Saturday was such a dramatic one. Though the state police Public Relations Officer, PPRO Asinim Butswat said he had not been briefed about the incident, sources said Mienpamo Saint’s phone was seized from him before he was taken away by his abductors.
The recent kidnap of the Blogger has sent worries to the spines of the state residents and Bayelsa media practitioners who are not demanding for his immediate release.
One of these persons is a media rights Activist and Convener of Yenagoa media Forum, YMF, Agidee Theophilus, who thinks the incident was outrageous.
According to him, the state Police command should not waste anytime in ensuring the release of the Blogger, as the state residents have not forgotten the painful death of Famous Giobaro which has remained a constant source of fear to a lot of people.
Theophilus also described the kidnap incident as an attack on journalists who he said do a thankless job, using Saint who publishes stories about high ranking politicians in the state as an example.
