Bandits kidnapped some persons conveying corpse to Isuikwuato Community in Abia State on the Umunneochi/ Ihube Okigwe axis of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway.

According to Vanguard, a family member said that the victims were coming from Abraka in Delta State on Wednesday when armed bandits waylaid the vehicle conveying the corpse and dragged out the occupants, abandoning the coffin in the vehicle on the road.

The source who said the deceased was his uncle’s wife, said the abductors whisked the victims including the deceased woman’s daughter, another relation and the driver of the hearse into the bush.

He said that the woman’s daughter later escaped from the captors by providence while the driver and the other man are still being held captive.
