The police have confirmed the abduction of Blessing Adagba, the coordinator of Ngbo Central Development Centre in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

The incident occurred on Thursday, sending shock waves through the community.

The Police spokesperson, SP Joshua Ukandu, while confirming the incident, said that the Anti-Kidnapping Squad is working hard to secure the victim’s release.

Channels Television gathered that the abduction took place around midnight in the Okposhi Eheku community in Ohaukwu Local Government Area.

“Around 12 a.m., a group of men disguised as soldiers invaded the residence of Hon. Blessing Adagba. They demanded she open the door, but she refused, questioning why soldiers would come at such an (odd) hour.”

“The kidnappers brandished firearms, overpowered the coordinator and abducted her to an unknown location”.

Community leaders have expressed concern over the rise in abductions in the area. They are calling for increased security measures to protect residents.
