Suspected herdsmen kidnapped an Ezenwanyi (priestess) and three worshippers at Obehe River in Udenu LGA, Enugu State, on Wednesday night. Four local farmers were also abducted in the same community. Media personality Chijinkem Ugwuanyi confirmed the incident, stating the victims were seized while performing rituals and working on cashew farms.
The kidnappers demanded a N50 million ransom before reducing it to N15 million. Senator Okey Ezea lamented, “Kidnappers and Fulani herdsmen have taken over Enugu North Senatorial Zone, including Nsukka.” The attack has heightened fears of worsening insecurity in the region.
