group of students in Okigwe, Imo state on Wednesday.
A statement released this morning by the state Commissioner

ensure the student is rescued.
“On Wednesday, 5th May 2021, a Sienna vehicle conveying

being held by the hoodlums.
“Law enforcement agencies of both Abia and Imo States have

kidnappers.
“Governor Okezie Ikpeazu is directly coordinating efforts to
ensure the safe return of the student and the others as quickly as possible.
“The Governor has also given directive for security
