Dan Shere, ex-Enugu SSG kidnapped

Unknown gunmen have kidnapped a former Secretary to the Enugu State Government, Dr. Dan Shere.

It was gathered that Dan Shere was among commuters kidnapped along the Enugu-Ugwuogo Nike-Nsukka Road on Thursday, Daily Post reports.

One of the survivors, who shared a video of the attack, said the gunmen were about eight in number.

Meanwhile, it was gathered that the kidnappers, who are said to be Fulani herdsmen, have increased their ransom demand on those they earlier picked on Sunday.

“They earlier demanded the sum of N2m on one of the victims but they have now increased it to N30m. They search the phones of the victims to know their status,” the source said.
