From Chuks Onuoha, Umuahia

An Aba-based businessman, Nwanagum Ejikeme, has disappeared from his home, after series of phone threats by unknown persons suspected to be kidnappers or ritual killers.
Nwanagum was last seen on the evening of Sunday, April 2, 2017, when he reported that he was going to buy some personal items.
His uncle, Israel Chunedum Ojimba, who reported the matter to the office of the DPO, at Ogbo Hhill Police Station, Aba, said Nwanagum, who is 5ft 6 inches tall, hails from Isuikwuato LGA, of Abia North Senatorial Zone.
“He is dark in complexion and speaks Igbo and English fluently and resides at No. 3, Nkoro Avenue, off Imo Iboko Street, Aba, Abia State,” he said.
According to Ojimba, before his disappearance, Nwanagum complained that some unknown persons had been after him, threatening him on the phone daily.
“He said that he would sometimes turn off his phone for hours and each time he switched it on, they would come with their threats.  I don’t know if they succeeded in kidnapping him or if another thing has happened to him, since we cannot trace him,” his elder brother said.
He described Nwanagum as an easygoing person, adding: “Our fear is that he may have been kidnapped. If he had fled, he should have contacted us to know where he has gone as this development is causing crises in the family.”
