Suspected gunmen have reportedly abducted Fabian Ihekweme, the former commissioner for foreign affairs in Imo state.
In a viral video seen by TheCable, a woman who identified as Ihekweme’s wife pleaded for the release of her husband.
She added that the incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon at their residence.
“They first took my husband’s driver to my house and gave him the phone to call my husband, and when he came out, they picked him up,” the woman said.

“I do not know why they are trailing me; I don’t have any business with Imo politics; I don’t know why they are trailing my children.
“I don’t know where my husband is. They are still holding him now; Ndi Imo, please help me.”
Ihekweme, who served as a commissioner between 2020 and 2022 under the Hope Uzodimma-led administration, later defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In October, the former commissioner alleged that the governor refused to appreciate his efforts towards his reelection, despite all he did for him.
Henry Okoye, the Imo police spokesperson, told TheCable that the command had not been briefed about the abduction.
