After months of reprieve, kidnappers are gettingย back to their old game in Anambra State, South-East Nigeria. They wentย on rampage over the weekend, killing one person, abducting one andย injuring another.
News Express gathered that the five-man kidnap gang stormedย Nkwelle Umunachi community in Idemili Local Government Area at aboutย 8:30 p.m. on Saturday in an L300 Mitsubishi bus. However, afterย abducting their victim, their vehicle failed to start.
On sighting an on-coming vehicle, they flagged it down and afterย pulling out the driver simply identified as Oba, shot him and fled withย his car.
In the ensuing confusion, the kidnapped person took to his heels,ย prompting the kidnappers to fire at him and injuring him in the process.
The sound of the gun attracted residents of the area who rescued theย wounded man, while the suspected kidnappers fled in the snatchedย vehicle.
Similarly, in Fegge area of the commercial city of Onitsha, a womanย was kidnapped in her house in the early hours of Sunday while gettingย ready for church service.
The state police command however says it is not yet aware of theย incidents even as it expressed worry about the rising cases ofย kidnapping in the state, especially within the Onitsha axis.
