Mr. Ebere Wabara, the Sun associate editor and special assistant, Media to Dr. Uzor Orji Kalu was yesterday abducted by policemen from the Abia State Command.
The policemen stormed Wabara's Surulere, Lagos residence between 6.30 and 7a.m in the presence of his wife and underaged children and whisked him away.

He was informed by the invading police that some unnamed persons had written a petition against him in Abia State and was asked to follow them to the state, where he would be charged with sedition.
Wabara was first taken to Sholoki Police Station in Aguda, Surulere, and later to Oyingbo police station, also in Lagos.
Recounting what happened, his wife said she saw between seven and eight men, who said they were policemen. They requested to search their bedroom and collected her husband’s laptop and telephone.
"I followed as they took him to Sholoki Police Station, but later, I had to take the children to school.  By the time I returned, they had moved him away.  His phones could not be reached, and he had not eaten.  Now, we are deeply traumatized, the entire family," she said.
A statement signed by the Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of The Sun Publishing Limited, Mr Femi Adesina said the media house “sees the abduction of Mr Wabara obviously on the orders of the Abia State Commissioner of Police, Mr Adamu Ibrahim, and perhaps under the further instruction of the state governor, Chief T. A. Orji, as a throwback to the dark days of military dictatorship, when might was right, and the strong trampled on the weak.”
When contacted, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Frank Mba, he is making quality efforts to resolve the matter.
