They, however, kidnapped passengers in a bus plying the Enugu-Ugwogo-Neke-Ikem road.<\/p>\n<p>Odoh said, \u201cChief Cyril Mbah from Neke Odenigbo-Nike was gunned down by suspected kidnappers along the Ugwogo\/Isi-uzo road, near Neke Odenigbo junction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was rushing home with his daughter in his car when he ran into a group of suspected kidnappers who suddenly opened fire on him. Unfortunately, he couldn\u2019t survive the gunshots but nothing happened to his daughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe kidnappers went further, fired and flattened the tyres of another vehicle approaching the scene and successfully whisked away the driver and other people on board. Till now, no one is certain where they are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Enugu State Police Command\u2019s spokesperson, Daniel Ndukwe, when contacted on telephone, said he would verify the incident.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have reportedly killed two people and abducted many others in Enugu community.
