Kidnappers have reportedly abducted Igwe Sunday Orji, a traditional ruler in Enugu on Thursday night.
Herald Nigeria learnt that the incident happened at the same spot a Catholic priest, Rev Father Paul Offu was shot dead, and a commercial driver, Kenneth Igwe abducted.
The royal father was abducted around Ogbaku-Umuogbe end of the ever-busy Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway, a shouting distance from where the Catholic cleric was shot.
