Eyewitnesses said the incident occurred near the Innoson Motorcycle Showroom on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, as the victims were driving along the road.
“The three persons were in a vehicle when armed men suddenly blocked them with their vehicle. They ordered the victims to alight and as they alight, they forced them into their vehicle and immediately zoomed off,” a witness said.
“One of the assailants entered into their victims’ vehicle and also drove off and driving behind the other vehicle the victims were in. The incident, which happened within a split of seconds created panic on the road and around the vicinity. Because it was already dark, we couldn’t get the exact picture of what the vehicles look like."
Unconfirmed report said the victims are Innoson company secretary, financial manager and a security officer.
The spokesman for the State Police Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, who confirmed the incident, on Wednesday, said the police were already working with information obtained from the scene for the ongoing rescue operations.
“Anambra Joint Security Forces are on the offensive for possible rescue unhurt of three abducted victims and arrest of the abductors today, 26/11/2024 by 6:45 pm at Innoson Motorcycle Showroom along Owerri Road, Nnewi,” the PPRO said.
“The police command is determined and is already working with information obtained from the scene for the ongoing rescue operations
“The command also urged residents or anyone with useful information that will aid the investigation to come forward to the Command headquarters, Awka, or the nearest police station."
