Prof Nath Protus Uzoma, from her residence in the World Bank area of
Owerri, Imo state capital.
It was gathered that Lolo Esther Uzoma was whisked away at about 10
pm last Sunday and her abductors were yet to make any demand or
contact members of her family as at press time.
Her husband, Uzoma who is also a columnist with The Sun Newspaper,
told our reporter that the armed men had stormed their residence on
Sunday night, asking for his whereabouts and his wife had told them
that he was not around. However, after ransacking the whole house,
they took her away at gunpoint.
His words: " Yesterday( Sunday) at about 10 pm, armed men stormed my
residence at the World Bank area of Owerri, the Imo capital, demanding
for my whereabouts from my wife and her explanation that I was not
around was not satisfactory to them. But when they searched the entire
house and did not find me, they abducted my wife at gunpoint. Ever
since, the abductors of my wife have not made any demand or contacted
any member of the family; and so, I don't know the whereabouts of my
wife.
"On August 20, 2014, eight armed men had also invaded my house but
the police were able to kill four of them, while the others escaped. I
am appealing to the kidnappers to please, return my wife because I
have no problem with anybody and as a social critic, my duty is to
always point out the ills in the society, which those in authority
should correct for the good of all and sundry."
He pointed out that prior to this time that he used to have police
security but that they were withdrawn because of the new police of the
new police Inspector General of Police and appealed to police
authority to restore his police security to secure the life of his
family.
However, Prof Uzoma commended the State Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Taiwo Lakanu, who he said, responded promptly after the matter was
reported, adding that operatives of the police command have been
working round the clock in search of his abducted wife.
