The Ebonyi State
Majority Leader and member representing Ikwo North State Constituency, Hon Sam
Nwali, earlier abducted by unknown gunmen in the early hours of yesterday, has
been released by his abductors.
It was reliably
gathered that the abducted House of Assembly member was released in the
afternoon of yesterday but
was left in a terrible condition as he was beaten to
a state of coma.
When LEADERSHIP
visited the Ebonyi State Department of State Services, Hon Nwali was said to be
receiving medical attention. However, operatives of the agency though confirmed
that the House of Assembly member was with them but did not allow journalist to
either see him or interact with the majority leader.
At about 3:15pm, the
Ebonyi State Governor Chief Martin Elechi, members of the State Assembly
including the new Speake, Hon Helen Nwobashi, were seen driving into the SSS
office. At about 4pm, the state governor was also seen leaving the SSS office
without the members of the House of Assembly.
All efforts to speak
with the governor and the Ebonyi State Director of the SSS were abortive.
The lawmaker for
Ohaukwu North State Constituency, Hon Frank Onwe, revealed that they were in
the SSS office to see their abducted colleague.
