As residents of Abia State and all Nigerians bask in the euphoria of the release of 15 pupils of a private school in Aba, six students have again been kidnapped in Abia State. The victims are students of Federal Government College, Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State. It was gathered that the abducted students were going back to school when gunmen ambushed their bus at Ohanze, in Obingwa Local Government Area and took them hostage.
According to the driver of the students’ bus, whose identity could not be ascertained immediately, “when it appeared to the hoodlums that I hesitated to stop, they shot at me and one of the bullets hit my hand and I had to stop. They ordered me out of my vehicle at gunpoint and took the students along with it.” The driver said the police at Umuobiakwa, in Eastern Ngwa, were alerted when the incident occured, but the matter was not followed up immediately. He said if the police had acted immediately, the abductors would have been tracked down.
Meanwhile, the kidnappers have asked for N2 million ransom. They also threatened to kill the students if their demand was not met and in reasonable time. Parents of the affected students have appealed to the kidnappers to release their wards so that they would go back to school and resume academic work. They said they had no money to meet the ransom demand. When contacted, the PPRO, Abia State Police Command, Mr. Geoffrey Ogbonna, confirmed the incident. He said that efforts were on to effect the release of the students.

no body say kidnappng is righty; I hope that our law makers don see what them cause. banding okada in most cities and towns is one basic reason why kidnapping become alternative means of revenue.

my prayers is that all the 2 story end well without lost of life,but this is just to tell the government that that this is the fruit of what they have plant. thousands of graduate come out of school every academic year yet they find themselves in the street without job,now this boy are saying they have spend too much time in the street ,and now they are combining what they learn in school and what they learn in the street together to make a living.they are too smart to be caught by a school cert..police and junky military. Nigeria is a failed state.

with respect to Nigerian movies; all these things could be happening in the interest of some highly placed and connected citizens... But God is more higher and connected than they are... in fact, He does not need any connection to deal with them. Make God wowo all dem lives, yeye ppl.
Where are the 5000 soldiers deployed in addition to the police and other law enforcement agencies???
They should be very careful that no one dies in all these their stupidity ELSE...

what is happening in abia is what Orji uzo kalu and the mother initiated. then transfered to T. A Orji that is not ashamed to call himself the Governor of Abia, he and his fetish Godfather (Orji Uzo Kalu) are pretending as if they are quarreling, which is another way of deceiving abians again as election draws nearer.when it is alleged that a state government is sponsoring robbery attacks and the security operatives and the federal govt cannot investigate the matter to ascertain the veracity of the allegation. i dont know what president Jonathan is waiting for to put a state of emergency in abia. in as much as we all should condem kidnapping,but we should look into the remote and immediate causes. Abia in the hand of Orji Uzor Kalu and the mother, Eunice Uzor Kalu(the jezebel and Athaliah of our time) to that of the present 'ewu'(goat) T.A orji is a terrorist state. a state government sponsored terrorism. be it as it may, those who hav given information to police on the hideout and the identity of the kidnappers to the police, many hav join their ancestors now. then are we not right to say the Abia govt, some Abia politicians, the abia state police command are all involved in the raiding of banks and kidnappin incidents in abia. the only solution is a state of emergency and that will make the security of the state to be handled by the military where is president Jonathan, where are those his campaigners that said he should continue even when he has not done one single thing and or a major policy since the death of yar'adua, pls call him to save those who will vote for him, unless abia is not part of nigeria, which will make us abians to declare abia a sovereign state after beheading the orjis and the kalus including mother Excellency that has brought us to this 'oblivion'

take a trip to Abia, you will notice that death is very friendly to Abia people, Aba that is the commercial nerve of the state is like a grave yard, no meaningful business activity is going on, no good road within, in and out of Aba,big markets like Ariaria, Ahiaohuu, Cemetry market, aba shopping centre where the youths make a living are in soory state, throughout the whole state there is no where u will see any functional water tap that is from the governmt. the premises of the water board has been overgrown with grasses and trees. people live, eat and breathe together with thier domestic wastes and other wastes, huge refuse dumps has covered the good remaing part of the road, govt are only interestd in using the bakassi boys to unleash terror on the people in form of tax collection to boost what they call internal generated revenue, as if the only internal generated revnue a state should pursue is tax. people who sunk boreholes to make sure that people will drink are forced to pay huge tax by the same failed state govt. Aba people are not lazy people, we are industrious, creative and hard working, how i wish that the kidnappers will channel thier agitations to the right direction and kidnap the orjis and the kalus, the so called politicians and the demagogue (mamacracy- government of mama) that has brought abia to this shame, i pray God to touch these boys to see the need to hijack these evil men that has rubbish the young state and get them killed if necessary for the state to move forward, we need a revolution in abia, and i see it coming. st least with the situation of things now, i think no politician including the governor can come out to campaign and appear before people to talk nonsence of what he is going to do if he rigs himself/herself into political position i oncemore appeal to the kidnappers for a change of direction, i and many others will even support them, not to go after those suffering the same thing with them, President Jonathan' the ball is in your court' play and score like Diddier Drogba, if not the violence that is taking place in abia may spread like a kerosine that will be difficult for you to quench the fire when it starts in the other 35 states of the feration including your FCT which took a short in a location a stone throw to where you were pontificating with all those people that have kept Nigeria a poor state that cannot even feed her citizens after 50yrs of political independence.
