A middle-aged man, believed to be a businessman, was abducted by assailants in the Alor community of Idemili South Local Government Area, Anambra State.
The incident occurred late on Sunday as the victim was driving home from an event.
According to local sources, the gunmen intercepted his vehicle near Ezeani Primary School in Alor.
One anonymous source described the event, saying, “The incident occurred at about 6:47 pm yesterday (Sunday). The man was driving in his car, a Toyota Corolla with the plate number: EKY-102GK, before the hoodlums double-crossed him opposite Ezeani Primary School.”
“The suspected kidnappers shattered the windscreens of his car, smashed his head with the boot of their gun, bundled him into the boot of their car, and whisked him away. Although we could not recognise his face as blood had covered it when the assailants forced him out of his vehicle, we suspect he is a businessman and a member of this community.”

This account is supported by a trending video on social media, which shows the abandoned vehicle on the roadside, believed to belong to the victim prior to his abduction.
On Monday, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the Spokesman for the Anambra State Police Command, confirmed the incident and stated that an investigation is underway.
