Gunmen have reportedly kidnapped the Sole Administrator of the Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, Chris Ohizu, and two others on Friday.
The abduction was after the LGA boss’s country home in the Imoko community in Arondizuogu was razed by his attackers.
According to The PUNCH, an anonymous source revealed that the council boss was shot before he was whisked away with two others by their attackers.
The source said, “The Sole Administrator of Ideato North was kidnapped last night together with two others after burning his house at Imoko community in Arondizuogu. They shot him on the leg before taking him away. This is a man who came back from a hospital recently. I am devastated now.”
According to another source, “The house of Ideato North SOLAD was burnt down and he was kidnapped with a bullet wound on his leg as I heard.
“I have been making this report since last year and early this year till now no single presence of the police anywhere in Arondizuogu and no single arrest. We are now at the mercy of God.”
Although, as at the time of filing this report, the Imo State Police Command were yet to confirm the incident.
