University, IMSU, Owerri, following the reported abduction of the
institution's Public Relations Officer, PRO, Nze Ralph Njoku-Obi, last
Sunday.
Vanguard reported that unidentified armed hoodlums scaled through the
perimeter fence of Njoku-Obi's private residence in Owalla, Uratta,
Owerri North local Council area of the state.
The abductors struck at about2am, shot sporadically to scare people
away from the scene, before whisking their hapless victim away to an
unknown destination.
While the ugly incident has become a source of worry to Owalla people,
it was equally gathered that the IMSU community was also rattled when
our correspondent visited the institution.
Some staff of the institution, who spoke on strict grounds of
anonymity, claimed that they had heard the rumour of the PRO's kidnap,
adding that they could not say with finality if it was true or not.
As at the time of going to press, neither the kidnapped IMSU-PRO nor
the hoodlums had made any contact with the immediate members of the
Njoku-Obi family.
When contacted, Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Andrew
Enwerem, said he was yet to get the report.
"The report of the incident has not been brought to my knowledge.
Honestly, I am yet to get any such signal but I must tell you that the
State Police Command is ever ready to protect life and property in the
state", the PPRO said.
