An activist, Anyigor Methuselah Maduabuchi from Ugalaba in Umuogharu, Ezza North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, has been declared missing.
His younger brother, Anyigor Ifesinachi Daniel, told journalists in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State,that he was last seen last Saturday, after he left home for a burial in Afikpo North council of the state.
The victim’s younger brother said, he dialed the his mobile number on Saturday after he waited for his return to no avail, but an unknown person picked the call, and warned him never to call the line again.
The victim, according to the younger brother, is a popular social media Activist, who critiques government over bad governance.
He said he had reported the matter to the Police and the Department of State Services.
He said, the victim was about 28 years old.
“My brother, Anygor Methuselah Maduabuchi last Saturday told me he was going to a burial at Afikpo North LGA; and we scheduled to go somewhere by 12 o’clock when he returns from the burial, and by that time, I called him to know if we would still go to the place, his phone was ringing but he was not picking. I kept on calling to no avail.
“In the evening of that day, I called again, and somebody picked the call, and I asked the person to give the phone to the owner, but he shunned me, and threatened me not to call the number again. I hung the call.
“I have dialed his number several times since then, and it has not been going through.
“From the reports I gathered, I’m convinced that my brother is being held at old government house,Abakaliki, for criticising government. Apart from that, I have not got any other useful information about his abduction.
“He use to post a lot about bad governance on Facebook and had been getting attacks and threats messages from people, believed to be supporters of government.
“That’s why I decided to report to the media to help me. I have also reported the matter to the police and the department of State Services.
But,the state’s Commissioner for Internal Security, Mr Stanley Okoro Emegha, denied knowledge of the alleged abduction.
