The kidnappers are yet to contact his family.
Sources close to the family said that the gunmen apparently came from the back of Rock on which his house was located as the four-man gang gained access to his resident by jumping his fence after firing several gunshots in the air.
Nnodim was kidnapped just after rounding up a prayer devotion with his family and about retiring for the day when the assailants broke into the house through the window.
After gaining access to his house, the gunmen demanded money before he was whisked away.
