The two abducted reverend sisters, identified as Vincentia Nwankwo and Grace Okoli, have regained freedom after spending about six days with their captors.

The reverend sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of Christ, were kidnapped on Tuesday, along the Ufuma Road in Orumba North Local Government Area of the state, on their way back from a vocational association’s meeting in Ogboji.

Although the actual date of their release could not be ascertained, their release was confirmed in a press statement issued on Monday and signed by the Secretary General of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Maria Ikeotuonye.

According to Ikeotuonye, the two reverend sisters were released unconditionally and are in good health.

The statement read in part, “I bring to your notice in joy that our dear Sisters Vincentia Maria Nwankwo and Grace Mariette Okoli, who were kidnapped in the evening of Tuesday, January 7, 2025, have been released unconditionally and in good health.

“We thank God and thank you all for your prayers and support all through these rough and uncertain days. May God forever be blessed through Mary our Mother.”

When contacted, the Anambra State Police Command Spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed their release but said the command was yet to take brief of what happened.

“Yes, we are hearing that the two nuns have been released, but the command is yet to take the brief from the victims to ascertain what happened. Further details shall be communicated,” Ikenga added.

Thank God

Shame on the Federal government for allowing security of lives and property to be growing worse daily.

The failure is squarely that of the federal government as no states can control their own security forces.

Bitter Obidient, early morning wailing don start . Tell your state Governor to return all the security votes he is collecting every month and not collect it anymore from the federal government. If Enugu Governor is as stupid as your Governor, peace would not have returned to Enugu by now. Osun Government arrested some suspected terrorists in the state, they didn't wait for federal government to come and police their border before security the state. You keep giving excuses for the failure of your Governor who is stealing away your future.

3 soldiers, more than 30 passengers kidnapped in Enugu. Learn to close your mouth.

Not exactly in Enugu, it happened along the road to Abakaliki. Compare this isolated case to the reoccurring incidents in Anambra in the last one month and see the wide gap.

Thank God for their freedom at last

In Nigeria of today, you are responsible for your

Security
Water supply
health care
Electricity
Education
Road construction
Housing
Transportation


With little or no input from government that is pressing out tax from us

PresidObi:
Why do we have security in the exclusive list of the Federal government?

PresidObi:
You really don't know anything about what you're trying to talk about.

It has been like that for ages. How many of these infrastructure did PDP provide in 16 years?. Even the 2nd Niger bridge in your backyard, APC came into power and built it. During Peter Obi's tenure, he failed in insecurity, Akwuzu SARS were killing Anambra youths and throwing their bodies inside Ezu river.

Yes he failed in insecurity and succeed in security (securing the lives of the law abiding citizens in the state)


During PDP era
Roads were better maintained
Insecurity was at tolerable level
No hunger as food wasn't an issue
Education was better as school wasn't scam then
Due to lower hardship people enjoyed better health conditions

Many reforms were proposed and executed and that's what the APC are messing up for like 10 years now.

I wonder if this we will be here communicating today if not for PDP government
