Mr. Francis Igwe, father of former Ebonyi State Deputy Governor Kelechi Igwe, has been abducted by gunmen.

He was reportedly kidnapped on Sunday morning while on his way to church in his Ndufu-Alike community.

Sources in the area said the elder Igwe was driving when armed men riding a motorcycle intercepted his vehicle. The assailants allegedly double-crossed him, forced him out of his car, and whisked him away on their motorcycle to an undisclosed location.
