Suspected kidnappers at the weekend abducted the former coordinator of Okposi Development Centre of Ohaozara Local Government Area, Ebonyi State, Mr. Ihebunandu Okorie. It was gathered that the kidnappers abducted their victim inside the premises of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Obioha Okposi, at about 1pm, shortly after attending church service. The heavily-armed gunmen, who were reportedly waiting for their target at the premises, promptly whisked him away in his car, a four-runner Toyota jeep, with registration number, NCA 94 AA. An eyewitness said that the kidnappers came with a green-coloured Mercedes 230 Benz wagon car with Lagos registration number, BS 559 KJA. According to him, As the former coordinator was coming out of the church, they began shooting into the air, sending members of the church scampering for safety. At this point, said the eyewitness, they bundled their victim into the boot of the car and zoomed off. Before they took off, they deflated the tyres of the Mercedes Benz car with bullets. They also tried to set it ablaze by shooting at the fuel tank, but it didnt catch fire. Contacted the police spokesman in the state, ASP Chris Anyanwu, said he was yet to get the report of the incident.
