Bandits have abducted a former member of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Mr Benson Nwawulu.
Benson Nwawulu was a two-term lawmaker in the state House of Assembly.
Since vacating the assembly in 2019, he had also contested again, but failed.
According to sources, he was abducted at his house in the Ihiala Local Government Area of the state.
Although the details of his abduction were not made public, sources said his son had reached out to some members of the state assembly, who were Nwawulu’s colleagues for funds.
The state police spokesman, Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the abduction.
Ikenga said, “Yes, he was abducted on Sunday, and we are working to release him.
“He will be rescued soon, because we are on their trail, and efforts are in top gear.”
