Some gunmen have reportedly abducted an Anambra businessman, Mr Alexander Nwosu.

Ginikanwa said, “The assailants shot heavily for several minutes that night before taking him away in the presence of his wife and children. The pressure sent panic to the whole community. His residence is located along the Isuofia-Ekwulobia Road, near the Ekwulobia Police Station.

“Since the incident, his wife has not been seen and her telephone line has not been connecting. But last Friday, the captors called the family members and demanded N50m ransom after which we have not heard from them again.” The state police spokesman, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, could not immediately be reached as messages sent to his telephone line have not been responded to as of the time of filing this report.All rights reserved.
