Unidentified
gunmen in the wee hours of Wednesday morning abducted a 3years old son of an
accountant at the Delta State University Teaching Hospital, DELSUTH, Oghara in
Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State. Vangard
It was gathered
that the gunmen numbering over 5, stormed the old Benin Road residence of the
accountant identified as Peter Nwabueze, robbed him and his neighbours of cash
and other valuable items before abducting his 3years old son.
Confirming the
incident, a staff of the hospital who spoke on anonymity, stated that Peter
Nwabueze is the head of the Revenue unit of the hospital while his wife, is a
nurse at the Renal Unit.
The spate of
kidnapping at Oghara which also plays host to the headquarters of the Nigerian
Navy Logistics Command and the Western Delta University, has been on the
increase thereby making staff of DELSUTH flee the community in their droves to
reside in other adjourning communities where they come to work from.
Recounting his
ordeal, a neighbour of the Nwabuezes who was also robbed during the incident,
told Vanguard that the gunmen broke into their apartment through the wall after
removing the barb wires on top the fence surrounding the compound.
As at press time
it could not be confirmed if the abductors have made contact with the Nwabueze
family for ransom
