The Publicity Secretary of the party, Benedict Godson, told newsmen that Nwankpa was kidnapped by gunmen at Osisioma, while on his way to Aba from Umuahia.

He feared that the kidnap of the party chairman might not be unconnected with the threat by a rival party in the state, working with some bad elements in APC, to disrupt the president’s visit.

He therefore appealed to the abductors to release him unconditionally, describing him as God-fearing and a true son of Osisioma Ngwa

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Abia state, Chief Donatus Nwankpa, was on Monday, January 28, abducted by suspected kidnappers.

The state publicity secretary of the party, Comrade Benedict Godson, said Nwankpa had been kidnapped by unknown persons.

The kidnap of the state APC chairman is coming ahead of President Buhari’s planned visit to the state as part of his re-election campaign.
