Oba killings: Owner of nightclub was kidnapped during Sunday shooting

Security

Fresh facts emerging from Sunday night shooting shows that the owner of Porshe Nightclub where about seven persons were killed was also kidnapped.

Gunmen had invaded the club which is said to be popular in Oba, Idemili North Local Government Area, killing some security operatives of the Anambra Vigilante Group (AVG), and some other fun seekers.

It was gathered that one of the vigilante operatives was beheaded by the gunmen, while one of them had his foot cut off and taken away.

Though THE RAZOR had reported that the shooting was because of the resistance mounted by the security operatives, which stopped them from kidnapping the owner of the nightclub, fresh facts show that Chief Ebele Orji, owner of the club was successfully taken.

A Facebook user with the name Agumba Idemili wrote in his timeline that Orji was kidnapped.

Agumba Idemili wrote: “Pray for our brother. After heavy gunshots at his club for over one hour, and after killing so many people, he was kidnapped with some people. Pray for his safety.

“C.E.O Porche Club Ebele orji is a good man, he doesn’t deserve such. May Chukwu Okike Abiama protect him. Fans pray for Oba. Oba is bleeding”.

A Facebook user with the name Why Worry corroborated the claim, saying that his younger brother was among those taken, and that they were yet to hear from the kidnappers.

Anambra State Police command had earlier confirmed the incident through its spokesperson, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, saying that bodies of those killed have been recovered, and men deployed to the area. He added that no arrest had been made.
