The criminals who carried out the operations at different parts of the state on Saturday at about 8 pm killed a petrol station attendant at St. Michael’s Secondary School junction, Nimo, Njikoka LGA. The hoodlums had thereafter abducted and taken away the patrol station boss when he was driving in his SUV vehicle.

LEADERSHIP gathered that the kidnappers had later on their way kidnapped another person at Oraukwu in neighbouring Anaocha LGA while two other persons were earlier that day kidnapped at Ifite-Awka in Awka-South LGA.

Some eyewitnesses of the Ifite-Awka incidences told LEADERSHIP that the kidnappers had first at about 2pm stormed the area, kidnapped a man and whisked him away firing sporadically to scare away people in the area.

They were said to have again returned to the same area driving in their jeep, and, picked another man who was driving in a Lexus 350 vehicle and quietly made away with him unchallenged.
