Paulker may have intended to make a case for his home state of Bayelsa, but in doing so, he stirred a nest and needlessly troubled some water.

Hilary Okpara, the Commissioner of Police in Bayelsa State, who confirmed the incident, said the victim was abducted at about 3am in his residence in Korokorosei village in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area
