A former commissioner for Power and Energy in
the James Ibori administration in Delta State,
Emmanuel Imonena, was this afternoon
kidnapped on the Benin Road in an incident in
which his orderly and a member of the
kidnapping gang were killed.
Mr. Imonena, a Vice Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party in the state was also a member
of the House of Assembly, representing Ethiope
West constituency.
Details of the kidnapping were still sketchy at the
time of filing this report, but our correspondent

former commissioner who posed serious
resistance shot dead a member of the gang while
another member of the gang retaliated and killed
the orderly before Mr. Imonena was taken away
to an unknown destination.
Our correspondent learnt that Oghara, Imonena’s
hometown, has been thrown into sorrow
following reports of the kidnapping.
