Delta State Police Command has refuted reports of the murder of Hon. Joan Mrakpor, also known as Ada-Anioma, a former member of the House of Representatives, Delta State House of Assembly, and an ex-commissioner.
Kidnapers early this week forcefully took her from her church premises and killed a police aide and driver attached to her in Asaba, last Tuesday.
Police public relations officer, SP Bright Edafe, said the news of her murder was false and that her abductors had not made any contact.
“The deployment of a team of security personnel to the bank of the River Niger in both Asaba and Onitsha to verify her death or release however, returned without success.
Edafe said the command lost one of its officers in the attack and the police command was on the trail of the abductors and would give more details of the incident in due course.
