The Labour Party senatorial candidate for the Ebonyi South Zone, Linus Okorie, has been kidnapped by gunmen while driving out of his Abakaliki residence on Sunday.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that Okorie arrived in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital, from Abuja on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to PUNCH, former House of Representatives member from Ohaozara\/Onicha\/Ivo Federal Constituency, was to meet with his supporters on Sunday in the Onicha Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Sunday night, the Director of Linus\u2019 Caring Heart Foundation, Dr. David Ogbonna said, \u201cHon. Linus Abah Okorie was kidnapped<\/a> early this morning on his way to his house in Abakaliki by gunmen known to be men of the Ebubeagu Security outfit allegedly sent by the Onicha Local Government Chairman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe available information confirms that he\u2019d been severely tortured to a near-death situation, made naked, and pictures of him taken by his abductors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe information available at this moment confirms that their end-point motive is to torture him to death and dump his body at Ebonyi river.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis phones are currently with the team commander of his abductors.<\/p>\n

\u201cA professional tracking done on his lines reviewed Okoja Road, near Police Headquarters, as his current location. The second line showed Ebunwana, Edda.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re believing that his abductors may have kept his half-dead body at old Government house where the previous actions of the indicted militia group usually take place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the incident has generated tension in the Onicha council area, as youths in the area are said to be agitating for a protest and mounting roadblocks on strategic roads.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the Onicha LGA, Chidiebere Uzor, has, however, debunked allegations that he had a hand in the incident.<\/p>\n

In a statement, his Special Assistant, Akpuru Anioke, said, \u201cThe attention of staff, management, and peace-loving indigenes of Onicha LGA has been drawn to a malicious allegation leveled on our Executive chairman, Hon. Chidibere Uzor, by one Ogbonnaya David from Ohaozara LGA.<\/p>\n

\u201cI, on behalf of our amiable boss, wish to categorically inform the general public that the executive chairman of Onicha LGA has never and will never involve in the abduction or arrest of any law-abiding citizen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
