A 10-year-old boy, Chibuike Ogbusu, has been abducted by unknown persons at St. Bartholomew Cathedral Church (Anglican Communion) Kubwa, Abuja.
The young boy had attended the Boys Brigade rehearsal at the church last Saturday and was on his way home when he was abducted.
According to PUNCH Metro, information as to the situation and current developments as provided by Dr. Peter Ogbusu, Chibuike's father, was that word from the kidnappers had yet to reach the family.
Chibuike Ogbusu had been taken after coming home from church after Boys' Brigade practice when he had been descended upon and snatched by the kidnappers. His friends had gone to drink some water from the borehole in front of the church and had thought Chibuike had gone home without them when they came out of the church and did not see him around the premises.
The victim's father said, “We went to the church and searched for him everywhere, but saw no sign of him. The next day being Sunday, it was announced in church that our son was missing. We also went to hospitals, but we didn’t see him. The police are currently investigating his disappearance.”
According to him, the family had been receiving strange calls about 10 million naira ransom demands and please to seek a prophet in order for the location of Chibuike to be revealed to him.
The FCT Police is treating the incident as a missing person case because of the lack of evidence that reveals that the boy has been kidnapped.
