By Charles Igbo

A former Secretary to the Enugu State Government during the Governorship tenure of Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, Dr Dan Shere, has been abducted.

Shere, like Nnamani, a Medical Doctor-turned politician, was abducted on Thursday, in broad day light, with a number of other people, along the Enugu-Ugwuogo- Nike- Nsukka road.

An eye-witness, and a survivor, who posted a video of the attack said the abductors were about eight in number.

Allegedly, rogue Fulani herdsmen, the survivor said they blocked the road, and attacked from all angles, shooting at vehicles.

He narrated: “They shot severally at our vehicle. One of us was hit by the bullets. But our driver managed to move on. We succeeded in taking the victim to the hospital.

Dr Shere was on his way to Nsukka for a meeting when he was kidnapped.

As at Thursday evening, neither the Enugu State Government nor the State Police Command has issued a statement. No contacts has also been made by the kidnappers.

A couple of days earlier, kidnappers had, also, along tye same road, abducted a number of people, including some students of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, who were returning  to school after the  eight-month strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

Allegedly, they are asking for N300m in ransom money for their release.
