There are strong indications that the father of the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Prof. Chukwuma Soludo , Pa Simeon Soludo, was kidnapped at about 7 : 00 PM Nigerian time in his village Isoufia, Anambra State. It would be the second time the aged father of Soludo would suffer attack from unknown assailants.
The 80-year old man lost an eye to assailants in January 2006 after he was attacked and left for dead in the same village.
Soludo often explained that the kidnap of his father led him to relocate his wife and kids to the United Kingdom. Our efforts to contact the former CBN governor by phone proved futile as he did not pick his phone or respond to text messages.
However, one of his lawyers,Patrick Nwankwo- Ikwueto (SAN), who spoke to Saharareporters stated that he was in no position to confirm if the father of the former CBN governor's father was abducted.
