A yet-to-be-identified group of gunmen, dressed in black and numbering up to seven, have abducted the President of the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, in Imo State.

Chilos Godsent, President of the Igbo National Council (INC), disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday morning, February 9, 2025.

According to Godsent, Igboayaka was whisked away at Works Layout, Owerri, Imo State, to an unknown location by the gunmen. The assailants, who used a Sienna and a Lexus SUV, carried out the abduction at around 7 p.m. on Saturday, February 8, 2025.

He stated that Igboayaka’s family is still in shock over the incident.

Godsent urged the Nigeria Police Force, Imo State Command, to take immediate action to rescue Igboayaka and bring the perpetrators to justice.

“The Igbo National Council (INC) wishes to call on the leadership of the Nigerian Police Force, Imo State Command, to immediately swing into action to determine the identity of the gunmen who forcefully took the President of the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, captive on the evening of Saturday, February 8, 2025, in Owerri Metropolis, and to make the findings public,” the statement partly reads.

The Imo Police Command has yet to react to the development as of the time of filing this report.
