On Monday night, Chukwudi Ogbonna, who is running as the Accord Party candidate for the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area Constituency 2 in the upcoming Rivers State House of Assembly elections, was abducted by gunmen.
The incident reportedly occurred in the vicinity of Rumuigbo, near Port Harcourt, when the assailants forced Mr Ogbonna to stop his car and took him away with his Mercedes vehicle. Ifeaka Nwakiri, a relative of the victim, confirmed the kidnapping to our correspondent on Tuesday morning and disclosed that they have already reported the matter to the Kala Police station.
Further details about the incident are expected to emerge shortly.
