Some unidentified gunmen on Tuesday morning abducted Chukwudi Ogbonna, the Accord Party candidate for the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly.
The country’s Governorship and state assembly elections hold a few days from now, precisely March 18.
PUNCH reports that Mr Ogbonna was abducted while driving in his car at Rumuigbo, near Port Harcourt on Monday night when the gunmen forced him to stop and whisked him away with his car.
His brother, Ifeaka Nwakiri, confirmed the incident, saying, “They took him with his Mercedes car. We have reported the matter at the Kala police station.”
