Man Kidnapped By Unknown Gunmen In Owerri, Wife Shot In The Process

The photograph of ageing and sick Chief Francis Arthur Nzeribe, with medics around him  has gone viral in the social media.

Nzeribe who is now 78,  had vanished from the limelight since he was defeated in the 2006  primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party to elect a senatorial candidate for his Orlu Imo state constituency.
He has not been  a factor in the Nigerian politics for close to a decade.

He once ran for office as president and was elected a senator in the short-lived Babangida military-Civilian rule experiment and in 1999 and 2003.
