The family of a young Lawyer, Jeffery Lotanna Ucheagwu is distraught over his fate.
Ucheagwu, a member of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Young Lawyers Forum, Anaocha Branch, went missing on October 16, 2025.
He was said to have been abducted along the Owerri axis, Imo State while traveling.
A close friend of his who shared his fate said since the abduction, nobody has heard directly from him.
However, his abductors contacted his family three days after his abduction, using his phone. They asked for a ransom money of N10m. But after days of negotiations, they agreed for N2.1m.
They kept in touch until the money was paid into an account provided by the abductors. Thereafter, the family said, they cut off communications. And nothing has been from them again. Ucheagwu’s phone has, also, been switched off.
In a petition to the the Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, the distraught family is asking for help to rescue their son. The family is also appealing to members of the public for any information that could lead to his location.
