Gunmen have reportedly abducted Patrick Aghamba, the Anambra state commissioner for youth development, and his wife while on their way to Abuja, the federal capital territory (FCT).
The incident was said to have happened when the commissioner and his wife were travelling to attend the wedding of the Anambra governor’s daughter.
The governor’s daughter’s wedding is slated to be held on Saturday in Abuja.
Reports say Kpajie Offia, an aide to the commissioner who was travelling with them, was killed during the attack.
