An All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) chieftain, Chinedu Ikenga and an Aba based lawyer, identified as O.O Anya, have been kidnapped by gunmen in Abia.

Ikenga was said to have been abducted on Ovom road, opposite Grail Message Centre, off Ogbor Hill at 9 pm while returning home.


Anya was kidnapped at Abayi, on the outskirts of the commercial city.

Sources said the gunmen trailed Ikenga, dragged him out of his vehicle, and riddled the car with bullets before taking him to an unknown place.

Party supporters allege that the kidnapping was politically-motivated.

They said the matter had been reported at the police station.

Information about Anya’s abduction was still sketchy.
Chairman of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Aba branch, Chidozie Ogunji could not be reached.

Commissioner of Police, Joshiak Habila said he was not aware of Ikenga’s kidnap but  Anya’s case was reported and the police would rescue him.
