Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have reportedly killed a tipper driver and abducted five women, including a woman identified as Mrs Ali. SaharaReporters gathered that the incident occurred on Saturday, along the troubled Enugu - Ugwogo - Opi - Nsukka Road in Enugu State, southeast Nigeria. This comes barely three weeks after gunmen suspected to be kidnappers attacked an Abuja - Enugu 18-seater bus along the same Enugu-Ugwogo-Opi-Nsukka route.

What is your name and what do you do for a living?
My name is Mazi Uchechukwugeme Abonyi. I am a real estate agent.
You and two others were kidnapped sometime last month. Can you us how it happened?
In the morning of April 9, 2021 I went to Amokpo Nike with two of my friends, Uche Aja and Emeka Ijegara, to inspect a piece of land for a client. The land is at the back of Unity Police Station opposite Elime Estate Enugu. We had inspected and videoed the 10 plots of land and were about to leave around 9.30am, when I saw about five heavily-armed guys running towards us.
