No fewer than three persons have been reportedly abducted along the Nkpologwu-Akpo Road, Nkpologwu, in Aguata Local Government Area of the Anambra State by unidentified assailants.

Although the details of the incident remain sketchy, it was gathered that the armed assailants kidnapped the three men at different locations in the community early Sunday.

The kidnap is said to be coming after some gunmen attacked a police checkpoint at the Omata junction along the Nnewi Oba Road where a police officer was killed two days ago.

The recent kidnapping incident was corroborated by a video currently trending on social media, showing a somersaulted vehicle lying along the Nkpologwu-Akpo Road, which a voiceover in the video said belongs to one of the kidnapped victims.
