He is among several other commuters kidnapped along the Enugu-Ugwuogo Nike-Nsukka Road on Thursday.
Shere, a medical doctor, served under the administration of former Governor, Chimaroke Nnamani.
“They shot severally at our vehicle; one of us was hit by the bullets. But our driver managed to move on. We succeeded in taking the victim to the hospital,” he narrated.
He thanked God for saving him and four others from the same community.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that the kidnappers, who are said to be herdsmen, have increased their ransom demand on those they earlier picked on Sunday.
“They earlier demanded the sum of N2m on one of the victims but they have now increased it to N30m. They searched the phones of the victims to know their status,” the source said.
An enquiry sent to the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Enugu State Police Command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe has not been returned as of the time of filing this report.
