UGHELLI, Nigeria: Unidentified gunmen killed a poultry security guard and abducted his 14-year-old daughter in the Uduere community of Delta State, Nigeria, early on Sunday, June 28, 2026, WAT.
Okay News reports that an anonymous community source said the attackers followed the victim, Umukoro Obukohwo Emmanuel, to his workplace and killed him as he opened the gate.
“The deceased victim was a security guard at a poultry in the community before he was gruesomely murdered with one of his hands chopped off as his neck was ferociously severed,” the source said.
“While they were breaking the burglary, the innocent young girl came out of her room to know was happening and immediately she came out, the kidnappers took her away,” the source said.
The abductors have contacted the family to demand a ransom of N100 million (approximately $72,400) in the Ughelli North Local Government Area, where residents recently disbanded a local security outfit.
“Some leaders are playing politics with the lives of Uduere community people. The Nigeria Constitution provides right to life, but as it is now, some persons are taking our lives for granted,” a second community source said.
An unnamed official from Nigeria’s Delta State Police Command confirmed the incident.
“we are on top the situation as the police are on the trail on the hoodlums,” the security source said.
