A band of armed men suspected to be kidnappers have abducted the medical director of a private hospital in Amaise, Amato community, Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area, Abia State.
The doctor has been simply identified as Dr. Valentine.
Details of the kidnap are still sketchy but it has been gathered that the incident took place inside his hospital complex at about 10:30 pm on Friday.
The Aba police force are said to be doing all they can to locate and rescue the Doctor, as well as bring the perpetrators of the crime to book.
It was not clear at the time of this report whether the kidnappers had made contact with their Doctor's family to demand for a ransom or any other conditions.
Unconfirmed report had it that some years back, armed men also came to kidnap the medical doctor, but that he miraculously escaped and sustained some injuries in the process.
It could not be established whether it was still the same gang that kidnapped the physician at the weekend.
Abia State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Geoffrey Ogbonna could not be reached for comments, but a senior police officer who would not want his name in print confirmed the incident.
He said the Aba Area Command of the Nigeria Police was working hard to track down the hoodlums and rescue the victim.
