Tension as Unknown Gunmen Abduct Nigerian Major-General

Some unidentified armed men have reportedly abducted a retired high-ranking military officer, Maj Gen. RC Duru (rtd), in Imo state.

In a report gathered by Sahara Reporter, the retired army major general was abducted last weekend in Orji General area, Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State.

The Major-General was driving himself in a black Mercedes Benz ML jeep when the gunmen ambushed and kidnapped him.

A signal obtained by the publication reads: “He was kidnapped by 4 persons in a Toyota Sienna.

“The kidnappers went with his vehicle and checkpoints were informed. His phone 08033567459 was tracked to Mba Itoli in Imo State before it was switched off.

“Efforts are ongoing to locate the kidnappers and rescue the rtd General. All are requested to make efforts using all contacts (though discretely) to hasten return of the kidnapped General.

“Maj Gen Duru is a member of 33rd Regular and NDC 18.”

It should be noted that security has deteriorated in the South East with frequent attacks on security agencies and officials in recent times
