Businessman Abducted By Gunmen In Anambra

A man in the Alor community of Idemili South LGA, Anambra, who is thought to be a businessman, has been kidnapped by some attackers.

It was gathered that the incident happened late on Sunday while the victim was driving home from a function.

Sources in the area said the gunmen whisked their victim away after double-crossing his vehicle opposite Ezeani Primary School in the Alor community.

One of the sources who does not want to be named due to the sensitivity of the incident said, “The incident occurred at about 6:47 pm yesterday (Sunday). The man was driving in his car, a Toyota Corolla with the plate number EKY-102GK, before the hoodlums double-crossed him opposite Ezeani Primary School.

“The suspected kidnappers shattered the windscreens of his car, smashed his head with the boot of their gun, bundled him into the booth of their car, and whisked him away.

“Although we could not recognise his face as blood had covered it when the assailants forced him out of his vehicle, we suspect he is a businessman and a member of this community.”

“The victim’s car was abandoned with blood stains all over it. It was like a commando film as residents around the vicinity ran into hiding and were watching what was happening from their hiding places.”
