The former legislator had been abducted last week by unidentified gunmen, sparking tension in the Okigwe area and concerns among political circles in the state. His release has since eased fears within the community.
Police authorities assured that security agencies are working together to track down the perpetrators and ensure they face justice. They also restated their commitment to maintaining peace and protecting lives and property across Imo State.
Ogbu’s abduction adds to the wave of insecurity incidents that have troubled parts of the southeast in recent months, but his safe return marks a relief for his family, constituents, and colleagues.
