Son of the abducted traditional ruler of Ogwuaniocha community in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State, Mr Onyebuchi Nnaji, has cried out to the Police Command and Governor Willie Obiano to rescue his father and bring the kidnapers to justice.
The 71-year-old traditional ruler, Igwe Oliver Nnaji, was allegedly abducted from his palace on November 15 by a gang that wanted to control the resources of the community.
It could be recalled that on December 14, the people of Ogwuaniocha community stormed the Government House, Awka, with placards to protest the alleged abduction of their traditional ruler.
He said: “My father has been in captivity for about six weeks now. We have made several efforts, written petitions to the concerned authority and up till now, no government intervention.
“Ogwuaniocha community is the community with the highest oil wells in the State and my father had been up and about with the styate government to ensure Anambra becomes an oil producing State.
“I cannot understand why government has abandoned us and watch while my father will just be humiliated and abandoned to die like a no body in the hands of hoodlums?
“My family and the community is appealing to Governor Obiano to mobilise the military to take over the entire community to rescue my father and restore sanity and order. ”100% Natural Herbs to Finally End Premature Ejaculation, Weak Erection and Small Manhood. Click Here Now .
