Suspected gunmen kidnap Ebonyi govt female official
Okemini, fired recently by the governor for gross misconduct, was suspended indefinitely by the university barely six days after matriculating as a political science student.
His suspension letter, dated March 20, circulated on social media, said his suspension is indefinite, pending the outcome of an investigation into cultism allegations against him.
“The vice-chancellor has considered the report on the allegation of cult-related behaviour levelled against you based on the display of cultism as shown on March 14, 2025, during the matriculation ceremony of the university,” the letter read.
It added, “Consequently, the vice-chancellor, on behalf of the Senate, has directed that you be suspended indefinitely from the university pending the outcome of the investigation of this matter by the Students’ Disciplinary Committee of the university. You are, by this letter, hereby suspended from the university.”
Suspected gunmen have abducted Mrs Blessing Adagba, Coordinator of Ngbo Central Development Centre in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi.
SP Joshua Ukandu, Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Police Command in Ebonyi, confirmed the incident on Friday in Abakaliki.
Ukanda, who confirmed her abduction, said, “Yes, Adagba was abducted in the Okposhi Eheku community of Ohaukwu Local Government Area.”
He said that the abduction occurred in the early hours of Thursday, adding that the police had already launched an investigation.
“The Anti-Kidnapping Squad has been deployed to rescue the victim. I believe they are working tirelessly to ensure her immediate release.” (NAN)
