Gunmen seize businesswoman in Zamboanga del Norte town

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 19): Gunmen seize businesswoman in Zamboanga del Norte town

The police and the military have sent a team to track down and rescue a businesswoman abducted by gunmen in Zamboanga del Norte province.

Abducted was Martina Nyee, 51, who owns and manages a hardware store in the coastal Barangay Poblacion, Sirawai, Zamboanga del Norte.

Acting Sirawai municipal administrator, Ayub Pia, disclosed that Nyee was kidnapped shortly after 4 p.m. Monday in Barangay Poblacion, Sirawai.

Pia said that based on initial investigations, Nyee was at her hardware store when seven unidentified gunmen, believed to be kidnap-for-ransom-group (KFRG) members, barged in and seized her.

He said the suspects dragged Nyee to a waiting double-engine motorized banca and sped towards the municipality of Sibuco, Zamboanga del Norte.

Zamboanga del Norte police director, Sr. Supt. Edwin Wagan, ordered the police to intensify intelligence to locate the whereabouts of the victim.
