The killing of policemen and abduction of traditional ruler, Weekly Trust learnt, happened separately on Tuesday. The proprietress was about driving into her school when the gunmen blocked her and took her away to an unknown destination.

 

The abduction of the traditional ruler, Igwe Pius Delibe Uzochukwu of Mgbidi Autonomous Community in Awgu Local Government Area took place last Tuesday at Mmaku. A source said  Igwe Uzochukwu, who was on admission at Eagle Hospital Mmaku in Awgu Local Government Area for some time,  ran into the hoodlums  while he was going back to his community.

Weekly Trust gathered from a source that the trigger-happy hoodlums surrounded the royal father’s vehicle with two cars when his vehicle slowed down to avoid a pot hole. The source said   they forced him into one of their vehicles and zoomed off.

Our correspondent also learnt from another  source that the same hoodlums killed three policemen along Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway the same day.

The police were reportedly escorting some people to an unknown destination.

When contacted, Enugu State Commissioner of Police, Danazumi Doma confirmed the abduction of the traditional ruler and the murder of the policemen by the hoodlums, although he assured that his command would soon free the traditional ruler.
