Maj Gen RC Duru kidnaped in Imo

A retired Major-General identified as Maj Gen RC Duru (rtd) was ambushed and abducted by unknown gunmen in the Orji General area of Owerri North Local Government Area, Imo State.

The retired Major-General was driving himself in a black Mercedes Benz ML jeep when the armed assailants carried out the ambush. The gunmen, numbering four and travelling in a Toyota Sienna, forcibly took control of the vehicle and abducted Maj Gen RC Duru.

A distress signal intercepted by SaharaReporters confirmed the details of the abduction: “He was kidnapped by 4 persons in a Toyota Sienna.”

In the aftermath of the incident, efforts were immediately initiated to locate the kidnappers and secure the safe return of the retired General. The victim’s phone, with the number 08033567459, was traced to Mba Itoli in Imo State before being switched off, adding urgency to the rescue operation.

“Maj Gen Duru is a member of 33rd Regular and NDC 18,” the signal further disclosed.

Security checkpoints were promptly alerted, and a widespread call has been made for all to utilize their contacts discreetly to expedite the return of the kidnapped General. This abduction underscores the prevailing security challenges faced by military personnel and other security officials in the South-East region.
