Owner of Milan Pharmacy Limited, Owerri, Chief Monday Okere, was Wednesday kidnapped by yet to be identified hoodlums.
Vanguard investigations revealed that the hoodlums, numbering about
six, stormed the pharmacy at about 7.55pm in a military commando
fashion, release a volley of bullets into the air, bundled their victim
into a red Toyota Camry saloon car and zoomed off.
It was also gathered that the rampaging hoodlums shot Okere’s
personal driver in his leg and is reportedly receiving treatment in a
undisclosed hospital.
Feelers from the kidnap victim’s Okolochi, Owerri West local council
area country home, spoke of uneasy calm among members of his immediate
family, as they were visibly alarmed about the safety of their bread
winner.
Some people, who spoke to Vanguard on the issue, lamented that such a
serious crime could take place in the heart of Owerri municipality
unchallenged by security agencies operating in the state.
They attributed the increasing incidents of crime to “misplaced
priorities by the administration”, stressing that the greatest threat to
Governor Rochas Okorocha’s rescue mission is insecurity in the land.
