The Sun columnist’s wife abducted in Imo state by Gunmen as Prof Protus Uzoma weeps

Gunmen have abducted the wife of a university Don and social critic, Prof Nath Protus Uzoma,  from her residence in the World Bank area of Owerri, Imo state capital.
It was gathered that Lolo Esther Uzoma was  whisked away at about 10 pm last Sunday  and her abductors were yet to make any demand or contact members of her family as at press time.
Her husband, Uzoma who is also a columnist with The Sun Newspaper,  told our reporter that the armed  men had stormed their residence on Sunday night, asking for his whereabouts and his wife had told them that he was not around. However, after ransacking the whole house, they took her away at gunpoint.
His words: “ Yesterday( Sunday) at about 10 pm, armed men stormed my residence at the World Bank area of Owerri, the Imo capital, demanding for my whereabouts from my wife and her explanation that I was not around was not satisfactory to them. But when they searched the entire house and did not find me, they abducted my wife at gunpoint. Ever since, the abductors of my wife have not made any demand or contacted any member of the family; and so, I don’t know the whereabouts of my wife.
“On  August 20, 2014,  eight armed men had also invaded my house but the police were able to kill four of them, while the others escaped. I am appealing to the kidnappers to please, return my wife because I have no problem with anybody and as a social critic, my duty is to always point out the ills in the society, which those in authority should correct for the good of all and sundry.”
He pointed out that prior to this time that he used to have police security but that they were withdrawn because of the new policy of the new police Inspector General of Police and appealed to police authority to restore his police security to secure the life of his family.
However, Prof Uzoma commended the State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Taiwo Lakanu, who he said,  responded promptly after the matter was reported, adding that operatives of the police command have been working round the clock in search of his abducted wife.
