According to The Nation Newspaper, the gunmen stormed the Igbo Nla Model College in the area this morning, shooting sporadically into the air to scare away the students and residents and made straight to the office of the school head.

The heavily armed men were said to have abducted the man, forced him into a waiting boat and escaped.

In a swift response, the State Police Command has dispatched its men to the area in search of the kidnappers while no ransom demand has been made so far.
