Rogers was reportedly whisked away to an unknown place by the gunmen around 9pm on Thursday, April 11, close to his residence at Rumuosi in Port Harcourt.
The reporter was driving his official Channels Television branded car when the hoodlums accosted, pointed a gun at him and took him away in the same vehicle.
Rogers was said to be returning from his official assignment in Government House after a trip to Andoni for a government event when the incident happened.
Already, the gunmen were said to have contacted his wife and demanded an N30 million ransom for his release.
His cameraman confirmed the incident and appealed to his abductors to set him free unconditionally. This is coming amid the renewed clash between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is not the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Governor Fubara, at the event on Thursday, sent warnings to local government chairmen who are disrespecting him as the state governor. He said the chairmen purportedly supporting Wike dug their graves and would soon fall into it. Fubara made the comment while commissioning the Comprehensive Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Ndoni, in the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local government area of Rivers. The former governor Peter Odili, built and donated the facility to the state.
