Abduction hits Enugu as gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen on Saturday kidnapped a woman who has been identified as Mrs Muna Ezeudu, also known as ‘Mama Enugu’ by locals. A relation of Ezeudu, Mrs Nwanneka Agbo, disclosed that Ezeudu was kidnapped at her residence in Eziam Nike, Enugu East Local Government Area of the state in the early hours of Saturday.
Agbo, however, claimed that the Abductors were Fulani herdsmen. She said, “My sister sent us a text message that read, ‘Herdsmen kidnapped us and kept us at Eziam Nike Forest Hills.”
It was gathered from a source that Ezeudu’s abduction happened barely a week after an- other woman, one Mrs Eneh from Eziam Nike community, was kidnapped and released after parting with some money as a ransom. A security source said Eziam Nike had become a hotbed of kidnapping in the state recently. “The Abakpa Divisional Police Officer, SP Azubuike Fred, led a squad to track the kidnappers at their hideout,” the source noted.
Efforts to get the reaction of the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Daniel Ndukwe, failed as he neither picked calls nor replied to the text message sent to his phone.
