Pa Simeon Soludo, 78, father of ex-governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Professor Chuwuma Soludo has been kidnapped by unknown gunmen. Pa Soludo was whisked away at about 7.05 p.m. when the abductors, numbering about five stormed his home in Isuofia, Anambra State. Daily Sun gathered that the older Soludo was having dinner with two of his assistants when the gunmen came in.
Hon. Chike Anyaonu, a relation who confirmed the incident said the kidnap is suspected to be political.
According to Anyaonu, in the last two months kidnap incidents in the state had abated.
Prof. Soludo was selected the standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and controversy has trailed his emergence.
Consequently, Anyaonu said he suspected some political groups that had been seriously opposed to Soludo’s candidature were behind the abduction. Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Solomon Leha also confirmed the abduction, although he said he did not have full details as at press time.
Leha, however, said his men were out in pursuit of the abductors, assuring that the criminals would be apprehended.
Meanwhile, confusion has enveloped the Isuofia town, with residents worried about the fate of Pa Soludo.
