There was tension on Friday evening when unknown gunmen kidnapped the owner of Johnny Supermarket and Pharmacy, John Ugorji, at the popular Ikenegbu
DAILY POST gathered that Ugorji had earlier resisted abduction, which warranted the bandits to shoot sporadically in the air.
The source further said, “The incident happened between 10:00 pm to 11:00 pm while he was driving home in his SUV. According to a source, “Ugorji had resisted being kidnapped, which prompted the bandits to shoot erratically into the air. The source said that this scared people away and caused them to flee for cover.“He was approached at his drugstore, but when one of his car’s tyres got stuck in a gutter, he attempted to run from the gunman. They then dragged him out of his car, shoved him into theirs, and sped off to an unidentified location. They arrived in two cars.
