There is tension in Anambra State over the whereabouts of Most Rev. Prof. Godwin Okpala (Retired Archbishop of the Niger Province and Bishop of Nnewi).

DAILY POST learnt that the Archbishop was last seen on Friday when he embarked on a journey to Umuchu, a community in the State.

As of the time of filing this report, it is unclear if the Archbishop and his driver were abducted.

A prayer alert issued by the Bishop of Nnewi Diocese, Rt. Rev. Ndubuisi Obi on Saturday, urged intercessory prayers for the Archbishop.

It reads,

“PRAYER ALERT from BISHOP Ndubuisi Obi of Nnewi Diocese.

Dearly Beloved people of God,

With a deeply burdened heart, we write to inform you of the distressing news that our revered Father in God, the Most Rev. Prof. Godwin Okpala (Retired Archbishop of the Niger Province and Bishop of Nnewi), has been missing since yesterday morning.

He embarked on a journey to Umuchu accompanied by his driver but, unfortunately, never arrived at his destination. Since then, there has been no communication, and neither he, his driver, nor the vehicle have been located.

We earnestly plead for your fervent prayers for their safety and swift return. The relevant authorities have been contacted, and we are hopeful and trusting in God’s divine intervention for a positive resolution.

Please, join us in prayer of intercession, trusting in the Lord, whose watchful eyes never slumber, to bring our beloved Father in God, and his driver back to us safely.

Thank you for standing with us in this moment of distress.

+Ndubuisi Nnewi.”

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Anambra State Command, Toochukwu Ikenga said he was unaware of the development.

It could be recalled that Anambra State has been witnessing an upsurge in the activities of unknown gunmen.

Almighty God Will See Him Through, AMEN ooo

Ask Umuchu people. Archbishop has probably been kidnapped or worse. Praying for his safe return.

Na wah for this place.

I'm worried and sad about the continuous negative news that keeps coming out in the Southeast. The kidnapping, killing, and other vices have left me exhausted . I implore those responsible to stop these acts please regardless of their motivations.

It's possible that the unrest is a backlash against the Southeastern people's demand for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu and their quest for self determination. I firmly believe that seeking freedom and autonomy is not a crime and will never be.

For all these atrocities to occur in south east always it's clear that there are insiders acting like a machinery in the hand of powerful people who are not even Igbos to bring destabilization and anarchy to south east. I urge South eastern leaders to take decisive action to address these issues and protect their people.

It's disheartening to see that those sponsoring these violent acts are the same individuals who mock and ridicule the South eastern people when these incidents occur. I am not happy at all with all these.

I pray may the Bishop and his driver be found alive.

Nothing concern me but E dey mind

May he be found alive

God abeg oo

Hope it's not Fulani Kidnappers roaming the bushes of Southern Region that are responsible

May Almighty God intervene in Jesus name.

Lol… South East is doing well… I doubt if this Christmas will be business as usual for travellers,
I am still saying it the root of Nigeria problem is that every Nigerian is a born criminal and corrupt, don’t say you’re not, it’s because an opportunity hasn’t come to you yet, make Ogun no kee you.

The problem of insecurity all of the country especially N East and S East are result of failed system.

If Nigerians aren’t corrupt and hardened criminals, why can’t Nigeria produce a good leader? Because you can’t give what you don’t have. Don’t mention Obi here oo, because the same obi was mentioned in Pandora …

You reading this right now, tell yourself the truth how much are you planning on stealing if you were made the president for 2weeks ?… Don’t even deceive yourself by saying you’ll be different because the mind you use to imagine money is different when the money is in your hands.

The money that’s meant for the citizens is in the hands of few families, so tell me why people won’t be willing to kidnap their fellow citizens ?

Security is this country is something else

I join voice with the former governor of Anambra, Peter Obi in commiseration with the family of late Sheikh Muyideen Bello, who passed away yesterday.

We don't give a damn about whatever happens in Anambra. On our way to Lagos

Soludo has to step up on how he fights criminals and atop with the sophistry. The other time it was cultists on rampage in Awka. Now this rise in kidnappings. He has to let go of politics and be proactive

Well, alot of them should be going home for December - January visit. But with the Security in their Land, they may have to reconsider.

Well, one of them have also propose that the number of Roadblocks be reduce to allow Free flow of traffic.

NB: For this Life no dey deceive yourself ooo.

Igbos need to tell themselves the truth. This is beyond just talking point. They need to do something.

It's well with our land.

Kidnapping for ransom should be made a capital offence punishable with death!
