Suspected kidnappers have abducted a government contractor, Lucky Ugbo, in Ogwashi-Uku, Aniocha South Local Government of Delta.

Community sources said on Monday in Ogwashi-Uku that the incident occurred last Tuesday at about 8:45 p.m. in the victim’s residence, along Isah Road.

According to Mr Ugbo’s neighbour, the operation was carried out by heavily armed gunmen, who invaded his residence and took him away at gunpoint.

“The gunmen were heavily armed and were dressed like security agents. They laid siege in an uncompleted building close to his house and waited. Ugbo went out and was just returning to his house when they suddenly swooped on him as his wife came out to open the front door for him.

“The gunmen fired several shots into the air before marching their victim into the darkness on foot, just as Ugbo’s wife wailed, begging the gunmen to release her husband. Many of us who live close by watched the incident from afar. We thought the gunmen were security agents.

“Since the incident, the kidnappers have called his wife twice, demanding N100 million as ransom for Ugbo’s freedom,” said the woman, who pleaded anonymity.

When contacted, the spokesman of the police command in Delta, Bright Edafe, confirmed the incident, saying the police have launched a manhunt for the kidnappers.

“The police are aware of the kidnapping of Mr Ugbo. We are on the trail of the kidnappers and equally making serious efforts to rescue the victim, “ Mr Edafe said.
