There is growing uncertainty over the state and whereabout of kidnapped Nnewi Traditional Ruler.

Earlier this morning, news filtered in that His Highness, Obi Charles Afamefuna Obi (Ogidi IV), the Traditional Ruler of Uruagu Nnewi, have secretly returned to his palace.

Although Anaedoonline.ng could not authenticate the news of his returns as sources inside the palace have all denied the return, it was alleged that the Traditional Ruler, His Highness, Obi Charles Afamefuna Obi (Ogidi IV), after being smuggled into the palace late Sunday night, directed that all the entrance to the palace should be closed.

However, our correspondent who visited the palace this evening, reported that people seen in the palace claimed that the Traditional Ruler is still in the den of the kidnappers.

Further attempt to get the reaction of the close allies of the Traditional Ruler proved abortive as they all declined to comment on the issue.

A visit to the Nnewi Central Police Station by our correspondent, was not welcomed, as the police officer seen in the police station said that the kidnapping incident didn’t take place in their jurisdiction, noting that it is within the jurisdiction of the police station in Orafite, where the Traditional Ruler was kidnapped.

The Traditional Ruler’s whereabout and his alleged stealthy return to Nnewi raises concerns as uncertainty persists over the state of his well-being.
