Mum still remains the posture of father of the bride and Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Soludo, even after the release of the State Commissioner for Sports Development, Mr Patrick Aghamba and his wife, who were kidnapped in Kogi State on Friday on their way to Abuja for his daughter’s Saturday wedding.
They were abducted by yet-to-be identified gunmen.
The gunmen were reported to have shot and killed the Commissioner’s aide who had accompanied the couple on the journey.
Also, no official comment has come from the state government either about the kidnap or the reported release of the victims.
No mention was made about how their release was achieved.
Sadly the incident took some shine off the weekend wedding.
Other attendees were said to have invaded and overbooked all Abuja bound flights from Anambra airport Umuleri, Enugu and Asaba airports, especially when the news of Aghamba broke.
The cheering news of their release was broken by an official of the State government who pleaded not to be named.
The wedding of the Governor’s daughter whose traditional aspect was performed about a fortnight ago at Isuofia, Aguata council of Anambra at Soludo’s country home, was held on Saturday in Abuja.
