Gunmen were on the prowl in Imo State on Saturday, abducting two members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and killing three others.

The gunmen were said to have taken over the Amaraku-Orji portion of the newly rehabilitated Owerri-Okigwe road and operated for many hours undisturbed.  

One of those kidnapped was identified as a pool magnate, Mr Aloy Onuekwusi, who is the owner of Diamond Pools.  

The driver of one of the kidnapped persons was said to be one of those killed.  

An eyewitness told our correspondent that the incident caused gridlock along the road as vehicles had to make quick detours.   

Efforts to reach the police spokesperson in the state, CSP Mike Abattam,  were not successful at the time of filing this report.
