More tension appeared brewing in Imo State as gunmen kidnapped the traditional ruler of Umueze Nguru in the Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of the state, Eze Charles Iroegbu.
The hoodlums also abducted the cabinet chiefs of the kingdom, who accompanied the Royal majesty to a public function within the state.
The monarch is the owner and Chief Executive Officer of All States Mass Transit.
Information gathered revealed that the monarch and his men were heading back to the kingdom when the gunmen hijacked them in their vehicle.
“His Highness and his cabinet chiefs were on their way back from a traditional wedding ceremony in Mbano when they were kidnapped. This is unbelievable and there is fear and panic everywhere”, a source said.
The state Police Public Relation Officer, Orlando Ikeokwu, said he was yet to confirm the abduction.
