Gunmen have abducted Professor George Chima from his residence.
Chima, a University Teacher, is the Chairman of Abia State Independent Electoral Commission (ABSIEC). Abduction of innocent citizens has become the way of life in the South-eastern Zone of Nigeria. Not a day goes by without abduction incidents in the zone.
Eye witness accounts say Professor Chima was hosting some of his colleagues at his Okigwe residence, when the gunmen, numbering four struck.
On arrival, they put fears in his visitors, harassed them and forcefully took the helpless academic away.
It is not confirmed yet how the suspected kidnappers arrived, but their attempts to take the Professor away in his car, which, at the time, was being washed by his driver failed. To get away, therefore, they snatched a passing vehicle used for wood carrying to take him away.
At the time of filing this story, his abductors have made no contacts with the family. And neither the State Government nor the Abia State Police Command has issued any statement.
