An attempt to kidnap company workers on the Eleme axis of the East-West Road in Rivers State on Monday night ended with the Toyota Hilux van carrying an expatriate and other passengers skidding off the bridge and falling into the Okulu River at Aleto also on the East-West Road.

Details were still sketchy on Tuesday morning when the Chairman of Eleme Local Government, Brain Gokpa, led a team to retrieve the Hilux Van and possibly rescue the occupants.
Witnesses said a convoy of vehicles conveying the victims and other people was ambushed at that point by armed hoodlums, whose mission was to kidnap the occupants and escape with them through the river.
