Mrs Macpherson told journalists that her husband was abducted on his way back from a burial ceremony at Ekaeta, in Ahoada East local government area of the state on December 16, 2023.
“Initially we thought it was a kidnap case because I tried calling him for two days his phone was ringing, and he did not pick up until his phone was switched off.
“I became worried, I travelled from Port Harcourt to Ahoada to enquire from the Police station in Ahoada, they said he had not been missing for up to 48 hours, so they could not declare him missing.
“On Monday, December 18, 2023, I was told he is in Port Harcourt in the former SARS headquarters, Rupokwu.
She added that MacPherson and two others were later transferred to Abuja by the police, where they are being detained and tortured to implicate Ehie as the mastermind of the bombing of the Rivers Assembly complex.
