Gunmen abduct LG administrator, two others in Imo

Gunmen have abducted Chris Ohizu, sole administrator of Ideato-North LGA in Imo.

Ohizu was said to have been abducted alongside two other residents.

The gunmen were said to have also set Ohizu’s house ablaze.

“The house of the Ideato-north sole administrator has been burnt down and he was kidnapped with a bullet wound on his leg,” a resident who pleaded not to be named said.

“I have been making this report since last year till now, no single presence of the police anywhere in the community and no single arrest too. We are now living at the mercy of God.

“You need to see how the house was razed to ashes. Cars and property were not spared. No single pin was brought out of the house.

“I call again on the government of Imo state to come to our rescue before these bandits finish all of us here.”

The incident is coming a week after an about-to-wed couple was killed in Arondizogu, Ideato-north LGA.

The Imo police command spokesperson was not immediately available for comment on the incident.
