But he said Emeka Ezenwanne, the state commissioner for public utilities, was abducted by the gunmen.
“The former CBN governor was holding a town hall meeting with the youths of his community called Isuofia in Aguata local government area of the state,” he said.
“Suddenly, unknown gunmen attacked my men that were providing security for him. In the exchange of fire, three of my men were killed but the professor is safe.
