Unknown gunmen strike again in Ukpor

A large number of gunmem in the early hours of Saturday swooped on Umudiji Umuohama village Ukpor in Nnewi South Local Goverment Area of Anambra State.

A Special Adviser to the former chairman of Nnewi South council area, Hon. Uzozie Chukwujekwu was abducted from his house and his only son was shot in the stomach.

The abducted person is a member of St Andrew's Church Umuohama Ukpor.

A source who pleaded for anonymity said that the incident happened around 12 midnight noting that the rampaging gunmem shot their way into the compound.

He claimed that the gunmem were enraged because Hon Chukwujekwu did not willingly open the gate for them until they forced their way into the family compound.

The only son who was said to be fatally shot in the belly was said to have been rushed to an undisclosed hospital where he is receiving treatment.

Meanwhile, the members of St Andrew's Church Umuohama Ukpor have organised special prayers for the release of Hon Chukwujekwu and quick recovery of his only son.

Attempt to get the police angle of the report did not yield any positive dividend as the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of Anambra State command could not be reached at the time of filing this report.
