Armed men dressed in black have abducted a State High Court judge, Justice Ebiyerin Omukoro, in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital.

The assailants, who arrived in a white Hilux van, seized the judge around 7:00 p.m. on Saturday in front of a popular eatery in the Ekeki area along Chief Melford Okilo Expressway.

The motive behind the abduction remains unclear. However, it comes just days after similarly dressed men reportedly invaded the residence of Oyins Egrenbido, a broadcast journalist and business manager of Silverbird Communications.

A video seen by Gistcore shows the judge being forcefully dragged into the white Hilux by the gunmen.

The Bayelsa State Police Command has yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
