Pandemonium this afternoon gripped Delta oil-rich Community of Uzere in Isoko South LGA, as unknown gunmen seized and whisked away prominent Educationist and Politician, Prof. (Chief) Abednego Elo Ekoko.
Ekoko who is the Chairman Governing Council of the Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku, was kidnapped at the premises of St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Uzere, just as he was about to drive out.
A Source in the Community who spoke to Reporters, and pleaded anonymity, said the kidnappers arrived at the entrance to his country home while he was driving into the compound through the gate before seizing their target.
The source however stated that the entire Community which is struggling to recover from the recent flood disaster and intra-communual crisis, has once more been thrown into confusion with the abduction of the University Don, lamenting the deplorable security situation in the State.
