GUNMEN, suspected to be kidnappers, last week Friday,
abducted a sexagenarian and father of an Ughelli-based wine dealer at Ughelli,
Delta State. The incident happened under a heavy downpour on Friday.
The victim, Amos Esemudje, father of the owner of a popular
fast food and petrol station in Ughelli, was said to have been abducted at his
shop along the busy Post Office Road, located a few kilometres from the
headquarters of the Ughelli Area Police Command.
Giving details of the incident, an eyewitness told Vanguard
Reporter that the hoodlums came to the wine shop under the pretence of wanting
to purchase a large quantity of drinks only for them to abduct the victim.
According to the source, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, “the gunmen arrived the shop in a black SUV and another Honda saloon
car, nudged the victim with their gun and accompanied him into the waiting SUV
before zooming off.”
Though the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Andrew
Aniamaka, could not confirm the incident when contacted, a senior police
officer at the Ughelli ‘A’ Division told Vanguard that the matter was reported
at the station by a family member of the victim, adding that investigations
into the incident is ongoing.
