Kidnappers Tuesday night reportedly abducted a community leader in Ugwuati community, in Ukwa West council area of Abia State, Chief Chilaka.
The 75-year-old community leader is said to be the father of a serving commissioner in Abia State Oil Producing Area Development Commission, ASOPADEC.
According to a family source, over 72 hours after his abduction, Pa Chilaka’s abductors were yet to establish contact with his family for ransom; raising fears about the health of the septuagenarian.
Contacted, spokesman of the Abia State Police Command, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna, said the police were yet to be informed about the incident.
However, a military source confirmed Pa Chilaka’s kidnap, but regretted the family members were yet to cooperate with soldiers to ensure his release.
