Wife of the traditional ruler of Abba- Igogoro in Igbo Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State, Igwe Omale Nwogbo, Adiza, who was kidnapped by unknown persons from her home on September 15, is yet to be released.

Adiza, 85, was kidnapped, four days after some armed men invaded the palace and inflicted machete cuts on her husband before shooting at three other persons in his palace at 8pm.

The traditional ruler was said to be having a meeting with some people in his Igogoro palace when the gunmen struck.

Igwe Ogbo was said to have been reportedly given three machete cuts on his head.

Adiza’s son and former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters in the state, Prince Goddy Ogbo told Vanguard in a telephone interview, yesterday, that his aged mother had not been seen since she was kidnapped.

According to him, while his mother was being taken away, she kept shouting “Blood of Jesus, Blood of Jesus.”
