Some gunmen on Sunday kidnapped Robert Chukwudilim Eze, the
traditional ruler of Ukpo community in Dunukofia Local Government Area
of Anambra state, in the eastern part of Nigeria.
Eze, who is also
a relation to Chief Arthur Eze, a business magnate, was abducted around
11.20 a.m. in his palace, after attending a church service at St.
Mary’s Anglican Church, Upko.
A witness said that the traditional
ruler had just alighted from his black Toyota Hilux security van when
the assailants abducted him.
The witness said that four gunmen
stormed the palace in a green jeep and shot at the vehicle when the
traditional ruler, his driver and his personal assistant refused to open
the vehicle’s door.
The Hilux van was riddled with bullets, while the two of its tyres were deflated, apparently punctured by the bullets.
