Suspected gunmen on Sunday morning abducted the former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha’s son-in-law, Uche Nwosu.
The incident happened about 11: 55 am at the front of St Peter’s Anglican Church in Eziama in Nkwerre Local Government Area of Imo state.
Witness was quoted to have said the armed men numbering over 10 ten, were seen shooting sporadically in the air before they dragged Nwosu into a white bus and drove away.
The witness said: “He was dragged out from the church as he was coming out and put in a car and drove away to an unknown place. They shot severally before picking Nwosu. Everywhere is hot now. They are men armed up to 10.”
Tension has enveloped the the Eziama Obiere community in Nkwerre local government, the home town of Nwosu.
When a Vanguard reporter called the State Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Hissani, his phone number was switched off.
He also reportedly called the State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mike Abattam but he did not pick his phone.
It was however gathered from unofficial sources that Nwosu might have been whisked away by security agencies. (Vanguard)
