A senior official of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Engr Kingsley Okorafor, has been kidnapped close to his residence in Umuadara Umulogho autonomous community, in Imo State.
Sources said Engr Okorafor was abducted on Saturday morning, about three kilometers away from a military checkpoint in the area.
The traditional ruler of the community, Eze Patrick Uwalaka, has confirmed the development.
A source close to the family said that the NDDC official attended wake-keep of late Eze Innocent Anyawu, the Traditional Ruler of Ndihu autonomous community in Obowo LGA, whose burial is slated for Saturday, July 16.
He said the victim was trailed after he left the event to his community.
The suspected kidnappers have not yet reached the family members for any ransom as of the time of filing this report.
Efforts to get the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), CSP Mike Abattam, for reaction on telephone failed.
