A middle-aged businessman was kidnapped in Alor community, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, on Sunday evening.
According to The PUNCH, eyewitnesses said the incident occurred around 6:47 pm when gunmen double-crossed the victim’s Toyota Corolla, shattered the windscreen, and bundled him into their car.
“The incident was like a commando film. Residents ran into hiding and watched from their hiding places,” a source said.
The victim’s car was left abandoned with bloodstains. The source added, “We couldn’t recognize his face due to the blood, but we suspect he’s a businessman and community member.”
Anambra State Police Command spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident, stating, “We’ve started investigating the reported abandoned vehicle in Alor Community.
Preliminary information reveals the victim was abducted by unidentified persons.”
Ikenga assured that operatives are working with local residents for the victim’s rescue and suspects’ arrest.
