Gunmen kidnapped Ugoeze Umugborogu, the wife of the traditional ruler of Amuro autonomous community in Imo State’s Okigwe Local Government Area, on Wednesday.
Besides from seizing the monarch’s wife, the gunmen also set fire to the Amuro ward chairs of the All Progressives Congress and Labour Party.

Residents abandoned their homes in fear as a result of the development.

According to a source who did not want to be identified, the assailants set fire to the houses as soon as they arrived at the grounds.
“Ugoeze Umugborogu, the late monarch of Amuro autonomous community, has been kidnapped,” according to the source.

“They equally razed the house of the APC chairman in the ward. This is going out of hand. The government should come to our rescue.”
