Days ago, it was reported that an Imo State monarch has been abducted.

He is the traditional ruler of Umueze Nguru autonomous community in the Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State, Eze Charles Iroegbu and he was kidnapped together with his cabinet chiefs and palace guards.

They were kidnapped while returning from a traditional wedding and per what we gathering, they have been freed.

“Go and tell it to the whole world, my king, our king, the symbol of authority in our kingdom has been released. His cabinet chiefs and two palace guards who were kidnapped with him on Wednesday were also freed by the kidnappers. They returned to the kingdom this morning.”
