Gunmen Kidnap Anambra Businessman in Alor Community

 

A middle-aged businessman has been abducted by a group of 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. Local sources report that the gunmen ambushed his vehicle opposite Ezeani Primary School in Alor, overpowering him before fleeing with their captive.

 

One unnamed source stated, “The incident occurred around 6:47 PM yesterday (Sunday). The man was driving his Toyota Corolla, plate number EKY-102GK, when the assailants double-crossed him near the school. They smashed the windows of his car, struck his head with the butt of a gun, and forcibly bundled him into the trunk of their vehicle before driving away.”

 

The victim’s vehicle was later found abandoned, stained with blood. Witnesses likened the scene to a commando film, as residents fled into hiding, peering from their concealment to observe the chaos. A video circulating on social media shows the abandoned car on the roadside, identified as belonging to the victim.
