Abuja — A three year-old British girl was yesterday morning kidnapped in Port-Harcourt by unknown gunmen.
The abducted girl, Margaret Hill is the daughter of Mr. Trevor Hill, owner of the popular nightclub, Good Fellas, located at the Government Reservation Area, of Port-Harcourt.
She was allegedly kidnapped at Mgbourgba area of the city, close to the National Television Authority (NTA) headquarters in Port-Hacourt.
Last Tuesday, unknown gunmen had also kidnapped three year-old Mike Stewarts, son of a state house of assembly member representing Okrika, Mrs. Lynda Stewarts. The boy was released after the payment of ransom to the abductors.
Little Margaret, according to eyewitnesses was abducted by men driving in a Peugeot 504 car after they rammed their vehicle on the sports utility vehicle that was conveying their victim to school.
Sometime last year, militants were said to have attacked the victim's father's nightclub and took some foreigners hostage.
The police confirmed the incident and said investigation was in progress. Meanwhile, nobody or group has claimed responsibility for the abduction, while the parents of the little girl are waiting anxiously to know about the safety and whereabouts of their daughter.
