Gunmen Kidnap Anambra Businessman Who Returned From Zaria For Christmas (Photo)

Anambra: Unknown Gunmen Kidnap Businessman who came home from Zaria to celebrate Christmas at Umuchu

There has been serious tension in Umuchu town in Aguata Local Government area of Anambra State for the past two days following the kidnapping of the Managing Director of People’s Bookshop, Ogbuehi Pius Egwuekwe, by unknown gunmen in front of his palatial home.

ANAMBRA PEOPLE reports that Ogbuehi Egwuekwe was on Friday whisked away by the bandits in front of his house and taken to an unknown place probably in order to demand for ransom.

He was said to have driven down from Zaria in the Northern part of the country with his driver to his village in Ibughubu Umuchu to celebrate this year’s Christmas with his family.

However, everything turned to a sad experience after his driver drove for several hours from the North and on getting home to enter his gate, some armed men accosted the driver at gun point. When the driver stopped, they were said to have opened the vehicle and forcefully took away Egwuekwe to an unknown place.

The matter was reported to the Police, who reportedly moved into action but their actions have not yielded any result yet as the victim has not been rescued and no suspect has been arrested as at the time of filing this report.

The victim, Ogbuehi Egwuekwe, was said to have returned late in the evening due to the long distance journey from Zaria before the sad incident.

The alleged kidnapping has thrown the whole community into panic and serious tension as many feared that people in the community were no longer safe considering how the plot was perfected with ease without drawing the attention of members of the vigilante group put in place.

Some members of the community suspected that it was an insider who may have leaked information of the victim’s return with his driver to the village.

Ogbuehi Pius Egwuekwe is a successful businessman, based in Zaria, Kaduna .

He has also touched the lives of many people in the community by attending to their material and health needs. No wonder since the incident happened, there has been palpable tension in the community with no traces of their whereabouts.

Another bad news, I hope they won't kill him after collecting ransom.

We should be security conscious at all times anywhere we go in Nigeria, no place is safe

Ehen. They have started. East. Insiders. That was how SARS commander james nwafor killed a young man in my presence in late 2014, in awkuzu SARS, for colluding with kidnappers to kidnap his sister who just came back from London, after tracing call logs of kidnappers to his cell number, on calls made from two days to her kidnap to an hour to the incident. His number was the only number the kidnappers called from when they bought the line till her kidnap. Nwafor is that type who gives only one chance to repent, after being caught in fire arm crime. Second time of being caught na killing immediately. Who else has noticed that kidnappings and banditry increased tenfold since the scrapping of SARS.na kidnappers/robbers carry d campaign 4 head pass

Gutter media, I PRAY the man is found unhurt , Nigeria just happened to him now

Why would he even come back. They should leave the East for Simone ekpa and his boys. Infact so many people I know didn't go back, just because of this insecurity. I hope he comes out of it alive.

The victims of the protests in the East are easterners. More Ibos have been killed. This year, thousands in the diaspora are not coming home, due to the insecurity situation in the east. Who lost? The local communities. One day, this communities will set up vigilantes and there will be a civil war among the easterners.

They live and do their businesses comfortably in the North, Southwest and Southsouth despite their ungrateful attitudes to their hosts, but they live like prisoners in their own land.

That is what you get when your entire life is overshadowed with hatred towards others.
