Two registration officials of the All Progressives Congress have been abducted by gunmen in the south eastern state of Ebonyi.
Witnesses say gunmen stormed the homes of the two officials, Donatus Omenyi and Moses Anyior at approximately 2 am on Sunday morning.
The wife of one of the victim described the kidnap to newsmen, Five boys armed with dangerous weapons invaded our house at about 2am, they forced the door open and demanded to see my husband who had gone to hide behind the door.
“I told them that my husband was not around but one of them ordered the boys to enter into our house to search for my husband who they found and took away. They later called to demand N2m ransom or we forget the APC party.”
Comrades of the kidnapped victims are said to be working with the community leaders to secure the release of the officials.
