Don’t worry, it’s not the popular Akeem Shodeinde, of Movida nightclub who died in May, 2015.
Another night club boss bears same name, and he is the one who just got kidnapped.
The owner of Amber Lounge nightclub in Calabar, Akeem Shodeinde, has been kidnapped by unidentified gunmen.
It was gathered that he was kidnapped on Marian Road in Calabar amid shooting by the gunmen on Monday.
Also kidnapped on Tuesday was a lawyer and Assistant Director at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Mrs Christiana Ekanem.
It was gathered that Ekanem was kidnapped at the gate of her residence by unidentified gunmen.
A source, who pleaded not to be mentioned, said, “Mrs Ekanem who lives on School Road, Satellite Town, opened the gate to her home and drove out and parked her car. She went back to lock the gate and as she went back to drive off, the kidnappers surrounded her and took her away at about 7:30am on Tuesday.”
The source said Ekanem lives alone with her children, while her husband, a medical practitioner, resides in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State where he is the medical director of a hospital.
According to the source, the kidnappers have contacted Ekanem’s family and allegedly demanded N30m ransom.
The state Police Command Public Relations Officer, DSP Irene Ugbo, told Punch correspondent that she was aware of only one kidnap incident but did not say which of the two incidents she was aware of.
