Gunmen abduct 16-year-old in Enugu, abandon him in Anambra

Armed men kidnapped a 16-year-old boy in Igboeze South LGA, Enugu State, and later released him near a security checkpoint in Onitsha, Anambra State. The motive is unclear; the victim was abandoned rather than held for ransom, suggesting a possible targeted warning or mistaken identity. This reflects ongoing insecurity in Nigeria's southeast, where such abductions are recurrent.
