Reports say that nine persons, including six women, two men and a baby were allegedly kidnapped along Okpokwu Agamede in Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State, Monday evening. It was learnt that the abductees boarded a commercial tricycle otherwise known as ‘keke napep’ when their captors waylaid them and took them to an unknown destination.
The kidnappers later released the two men, a nursing mother and her baby, but kept the remaining five women in their custody.
The Parish Priest of the St Mary’s Catholic Church, Odenigbo Eha-Amufu, Rev Fr Emma Nnadi, who broke the news to a WhatsApp group of reverend fathers and monsignors yesterday morning wrote “Good morning dear Msgr/Frs.
“Yesterday evening, kidnappers stormed one of my outstations, Okpokwu, and kidnapped 8 persons, (2 men, 6 women and a baby). They later freed the men and a woman with her baby. With them now are 4 of my CWO members of the outstation including their chairlady.
For now, nothing has been heard about them.
