Gunmen kidnap Imo LG boss, set house on fire.

Chris Ohizu, the sole administrator of Imo State’s Ideato North Local Government Area, and two other people were taken kidnapped by unknown gunmen on Friday.

According to a source, when the gunmen barged into the local council leader’s home in Imoko, Arondizuogu, they shot him in the leg.

It was reported that after taking him and the other two, his home was later set on fire.

“The house of Ideato North SOLAD was burnt down and he was kidnapped with bullet wound on his leg as I heard.

“I have been making this report since last year and early this year till now no single presence of the police anywhere in Arondizuogu and no single arrest. We are now at the mercy of God.

“I may not post anything about this my town here again because the ones done have not received any attention. Watch how house built with hard earned money with properties were razed down”, the source lamented.

Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the spokesman for the Coalition of United Political Parties, had his home burned down by gunmen at Akokwa in the same Ideato North less than a week prior.

As of the time this report was filed, the state’s police had not yet responded.
