Bankers and residents of Awka, the Anambra state capital, are gripped by fear, following the kidnap of the Manager of a branch of Fidelity Bank, Mr. Tochukwu Nnadi.
He was abducted about 7:30am yesterday in Iyiagu Estate on his way to the office.
One of Nnadi’s colleagues, who did not want to be named, said the kidnappers were yet to contact anyone.
He said: “We do not know what Anambra State is turning to. They wanted to close the branch because of the rising insecurity, but some of us summoned the courage to continue working here.
“Nnadi was coming to the office when he was abducted. We learnt that his kidnappers laid ambush in two cars, a Chrysler and “End of Discussion”, with the doors open.
“People said when they sighted Nnadi’s car; they blocked him and took him away. Honestly, everybody is afraid.”
Police spokesman Raphael Uzoigwe said the kidnap had not been reported.
