Former Anambra PermSec Kidnapped
A[b] former permanent secretary in the Anambra State Ministry of Works and Transport, Patrick Obidike, an engineer, was kidnapped from his country home Isiofia in Aguata Local Government Area.

The kidnappers according to an eye-witness account came in a Toyota Camry saloon car which had four passengers. They rode on an earth road and abducted him from his country home at gun-point about 10am Saturday.

Confirming the incident, the State Police Commissioner, Mohammed Abass, told reporters that he received information on what happened around 11am yesterday, adding that police had commenced action on detecting the crime. [/b] Abbass further noted that kidnappers no longer take their hostages to homes but to deep bushes, adding that communities within and outside Isiofia town are being investigated at the moment.

This incident is also coming on the heels of the rescue of Ifeyinwa Obi, one of the sisters of the monarch of Nwafia, Igwe Chijioke Nwankwo, and her daughter, Somtochukwu Obi, two days ago.

The[b] mother and child were kidnapped at Enugwu-Ukwu town where she is married to and taken to Nawfia, her hometown. [/b] The kidnappers had demanded the sum of N15 million from the family before they would be released.

But on that fateful day, luck ran out on them as combined team of security operatives and local vigilante groups stormed the area under the pretence of coming to pay the sum of N15 million and opened fire on them.

Two suspects, who were arrested and handed over to the police, are said to be assisting the police in their investigation.

According to Nwankwo, "We took our time to monitor the movement of the hoodlums and established their base, before we planned the action that led to their rescue".

Meanwhile, those that abducted the Obidike are yet to establish contact with the family of their victim as at the time of sending this report.
