Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted the medical
director of a private hospital in Amaise, Amato community, Osisioma Ngwa Local
Government Area (near Aba), Abia State.
Although information on the abduction of the medical doctor
whose name was given simply as Dr. Valentine was still sketchy as at the time
of filing this report, Sunday Sun gathered that he was kidnapped inside his
hospital complex on Friday at about 10.30pm.
The police in Aba are said to be working tirelessly to
locate and rescue the medical doctor and apprehend the suspects.
It was not clear whether the kidnappers had established
contact with their victim’s family and demanded any ransom.
Unconfirmed report had it that some years back, armed men
also came to kidnap the medical doctor, but that he miraculously escaped and
sustained some injuries in the process.
It could not be established whether it was still the same
gang that kidnapped the physician at the weekend.
Abia State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Geoffrey
Ogbonna could not be reached for comments, but a senior police officer who
would not want his name in print confirmed the incident. He said the Aba Area
Command of the Nigeria Police was working hard to track down the hoodlums and
rescue the victim
