Gunmen kidnap brothers, in-law during marriage dispute meeting in Enugu

 

Gunmen have kidnapped three kinsmen during a family meeting at Isingwu Imeama Mgbowo in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State.

The victims were identified as an Enugu-based estate developer, Chief Frank Aziude; his elder brother, Alphonsus Aziude; and their in-law, Mr Eric Onyia.

According to PUNCH, community sources said that the incident happened on Sunday evening when gunmen invaded the family meeting, shot sporadically before whisking the victims away.

The sources said the meeting was conveyed to resolve marriage dispute between Aziude’s daughter and her spouse before the abductors struck.

One of the sources, however, said that the kidnappers were yet to contact the family to demand any ransom.

The State Police Command spokesman, Daniel Ndukwe, is yet to comment on the incident as of the time of filing this report.
