Some yet-to-be-identified heavily armed men have abducted the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate for the Ahiazu State House of Assembly constituency election in Imo State, Nduka Anyanwu, to an unknown destination.
A highly placed source from the family of the politician who confirmed the incident in a police social medium platform in Owerri disclosed that he was picked by the armed men at about 9 am on Tuesday in his area while on his way to finalising arrangements for his booth agents at Ahiazu.

‘We call on the public who might have any useful information to inform any nearby police station, just happened around 9.00 am today, Tuesday, 22nd November 2022. Let’s be prayerful for his safety and quick rescue,’ according to the family source.
The Eastern Updates reports that this is coming just a few days after about three policemen of the Enugu State command have been confirmed dead after they were attacked by unknown gunmen at Agbani, the headquarters of Nkanu West Local Government of the state.
The Eastern Updates gathered that the ugly incident took place Saturday morning at a roundabout near the Agbani Divisional Police station.
According to reports, the police officers were on their normal stop-and-search duty when the assailants sighted them and immediately opened fire, bringing down the three security operatives.
The attack occurred less than 24 hours after a former Commissioner in the state and Oji-River Local government’s chairman, Chief Gabriel Onuzulike, and his elder brother were killed at their Nkpokolo-Achi hometown by gunmen.
