The Enugu Command of the Ebubeagu Security Outfit has allegedly abducted one Chinedu Abuguja at the Ogrute/Umuida Junction, the headquarters of Igbo-Eze North local government area of Enugu State.
This was disclosed by his wife, Mrs Onyinyechi Abuguja, who said the incidence happened since November 2, 2022.
Onyinyechi alleged that her husband, who is the only son of his mother, was arrested around 8pm while the couple was returning home after the wife’s ante-natal at the hospital.
According to the heavily pregnant Onyenyichi, who is expecting twin babies, his whereabouts have been unknown to since then.
She said she followed the operatives that arrested her husband to their office but was warned to go back.
She was told to go back home to prepare food for her husband but they refused to tell her the offence Chinedu committed
According to her, when she went back to the Ebubeagu’s office the following morning, they asked her to look for him at the police station.

Narrating what happened, she said, “Regrettably, when I went to the police station at Ogrute, they told me that nobody was brought to the station either in the night or that morning.”
Continuing, Onyenyichi said that her family got information recently that he was being detained by the police at the Octopus Squad, Abakpa Junction, Enugu.
However, when she got to Octopus Squad with her family members, “they drove us back, saying nobody like that is with them.
“The police should please release my husband or at least tell us what he did that should warrant his detention, rendering him incommunicado for over 20 days. Ebubeagu should also tell us what my husband has done that warranted his abduction,” she lamented.
Speaking on the disappearance of Chinedu, the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), condemned the enforced disappearance of Igbo youths being executed by Nigerian security agencies.
The board chairman of Intersociety, Comrade Emeka Umeagbalasi, said it is wrong to carry out sustained enforced disappearance of youths of a particular tribe no matter the circumstance.
He said, “If you arrest anyone for whatever offence, his or her family should be notified. You also charge the person to court within a stipulated time frame. It is the law that will determine the offence the person committed and pass judgment on him.”
Contacted, the police spokesman in the state, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, declined to comment on the incident.
