Unknown gunmen have abducted a former gubernatorial candidate of the Action Congress in Imo State and Rochas Okorocha’s son in law, Uche Nwosu.
Nwosu was abducted by gunmen in military uniform at St. Peter’s Angelican Church Eziam Obire, in Nkwerre Local Government Area of Imo State.
The incident happened during the outing service of his late mother.
Eyewitnesses reported that the gunmen stormed the church with a military van firing live bullets in the air.
While some of Nwosu’s associates alleged that he was kidnapped, others alleged that his arrest was masterminded by the state governor, Hope Uzodinma.
But in a swift reaction, the state commissioner for Information and strategy, Declan Emelumba, said that the governor had no hand in what happened.
While Emelumba could not confirm if it was an arrest or a kidnap incident, he said that it was “ridiculous” to allege that the governor had a hand in the disappearance of Nwosu.
