Suspected kidnappers have killed Dr. Ifeanyi Ogbu, an Abuja-based veterinary doctor and former chairman of the Nigerian Veterinary Medical Association (NVMA), FCT Chapter, and abducted his three children.
The incident occurred on the night of Friday, October 3, when gunmen reportedly stormed Dr. Ogbu’s residence in Kubwa district along the Kubwa-Kaduna road. The attackers killed him, dumped his body by the roadside, and took his three children away.
Dr. Ogbu’s death was confirmed on social media by his friend, Andrew Gabriel Ikechukwu, who wrote:
“Dr. Ifeanyi Ogbu, the immediate past chairman of the NVMA FCT chapter, who was kidnapped alongside his three children from his home in Kubwa, Abuja, was found dead. The three children are yet to be released. May God please intervene.”
This tragic attack comes less than a week after ARise TV reporter Somtochukwu Maduagwu was killed during a robbery in Katampe, another area of Abuja.
The FCT Police Command has yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
