Nancy, 26, who is said to be the last child of the Dictkson’s family was kidnapped on December 19, 2015.
According to The Nation, the gunmen whisked her away from her shop on Okaka Road in Yenagoa, the state capital. The hoodlums who were said to have trailed her to the shop in an ash Lexus jeep, drove her away to an unknown location around 2:50pm.
Her shop is located in a building housing the office of the Bayelsa Volunteers, an army of youths working for the government to assist security agencies in crime fighting.

She was kidnapped after the December 5, 2015 governorship election and a few weeks to the January 9 supplementary poll, that reinstalled Dickson as the State governor. The woman spent the Christmas and the New Year in her assailants’ hideout.
Dickson has been criticised by many people for his alleged indifference to her sister’s plight, expressing fears that her captors might subject her to various assaults.
A source close to the governor said Dickson was not ready to pay any ransom to free his sister. The source, who spoke in confidence, noted that Dickson had ordered his family not to pay ransom to Nancy’s abductors.
He recalled that the governor took a similar action when gunmen abducted the mother of a commissioner in his administration.
According to the source, “The governor does not believe in paying ransom to kidnappers. When his mother was kidnapped, the abductors demanded ransom but the governor turned down their request. They kept the woman until they became tired and set her free."
