Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has expressed outrage over the rate of kidnapping incidents in Enugu State.

Blaze reports that no fewer than 20 persons were abducted at different locations in the State over the weekend.

Among them were about 14 travellers abducted along the Enugu-Ugwuogo-Opi Nsukka Road on Friday, and a Catholic priest, Rev Fr Marcellinus Obioma Okide, who was kidnapped in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, while a middle-aged man was killed during another kidnap incident in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of the State.

In a statement made available to journalists on Tuesday, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said the rate of kidnapping in Enugu was outrageous.

Okwu, who noted that hoodlums have taken over every major road outside the State capital, noted that security agencies were talking without action.
