A popular native doctor based in his hometown, Oba in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State was kidnapped on Sunday night in one of his hotels in the town.
The native doctor, Chinedu Nwangwu (also known as Akwa okuko tiwara aki – an egg that breaks palm nut) was believed to possess the power of disappearance, but could not disappear when the kidnappers came for him.
His two aides were said to have been killed in the vicinity of the hotel before the kidnappers effortlessly took him away.
Regarded as one of the strongest native doctors in Anambra State, it was a surprise that he was kidnapped with so much ease in his hotel, Triple P Hotel, which is one of the three hotels he built in Oba.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent Toochukwu Ikenga said the incident happened around 11:30 pm on Sunday.
The state Commissioner of Police, Aderemi Adeoye ordered operatives to go after his abductors and ensure Nwangwu’s release.
