Two market women have been feared dead right now as Soldiers stationed
at the Military Unit at Ngwa road Primary School, Aba, Abia State killed a identified
kidnapper after he attempted to take off during his arrest.
Information gathered reveals that the kidnapper who had come to the Ngwa
road area to collect ransom from the relations of an abducted victim did not
know that soldiers having been tipped off about his mission were trailing him.
When the kidnapper who was said to be making contact with the family
member who was in possession of the ransom, when he realized that the soldiers
had closed in on him, he took to his heels and was given a hot pursuit.
After a serious chase, the soldiers gunned him down near the popular Ngwa
Road Market.
However, what would have been celebrated as a victory against the
resurgence of kidnapping in the city turned sour as stray bullets hit two
market women who were later taken to an undisclosed hospital in the city.
Another told our correspondent that a child sachet water seller was also hit by
a stray bullet but this could not be confirmed as at press time.
As at the time of filing this report, the state of health of the two
market women was yet to be known but eyewitnesses hinted that they lost much
blood.
Attempts to get the reaction of one Major Aniukwu, who is the Commander
of the Military Unit at Ngwa road proved abortive as soldiers on guard barred
our correspondent from the facility.
