So, this morning around 6:16am; one of them posted his wife on WhatsApp status to wish her a happy birthday, and that was the last time we get any means of communication with them.

We tried to call five of them it was switched off, both on WhatsApp and phone calls. At about 10:30am today, one of their phones rang severally and no one pick up the call and later the phone was switched off till now
Nigerian police force in Tiger base don kidnap them.

I hope they've not been taken by cannibalistic individuals with support from their associates at the hotel lodged.

Re: Police Seek Information As Five Travellers Go Missing In Anambra by MadPolitician: 6:25pm On May 22, 2025
South West press on overdrive to cast Anambra and the south-east as kidnappers den, just to take away attention from Ogun-Osun and their ritual habits..
First it was the story about "Yoruba boys taken to Anambra" yesterday. Now this. An inglorious agenda is being prosecuted here..

May God intervene in their situation and keep them safe in Jesus name.
Can't the hotel they passed the night be tracked, since one of them posted his wife's birthday on the morning of the day, where are our intelligent officers
Re: Police Seek Information As Five Travellers Go Missing In Anambra by ArcSEMPECJ(m): 7:16pm On May 22, 2025
I think they have left Anambra State going to Uyo from the Story read here...

They entered Asaba by 7pm, ate food and continued to Onitsha in Anambra State.... because that is the first place after head bridge...

By 10:20pm, they were reached and there was a conversation, couldn't one of them say where they lodged in Onitsha or what or how they finally found where to lodgehuh At least there should be an information from the conversation...

By 6:16am , one of them posted on Facebook the birthday of his wife, showing they were still relaxed wherever they are with no issues...

And that's the last time they were communicated....

For them to be going to Uyo, at exactly 7am in the morning, they should have been on their way to the park to board a bus going to Uyo Akwaibom State...

Two things can be possible here.....
Assuming if they mentioned where they lodged in Onitsha, then Police will trace the hotel and know if they logged out in the morning...

If Yes, then , Onitsha in the morning is not a dead zone , no one can harass anybody...

So definitely, they boarded a bus and left Onitsha to Uyo...

Let the search also extend to Motor accidents , hospitals and kidnap cases outside Anambra State as no one can kidnap them in the morning in Onitsha without the news going round which is equally impossible...

May God protect them on their journey. In the past, whenever you get to Onitsha from the North/South/ West, you call those that bade you goodbye to rejoice with you as you are now home and in a peaceful area but now when you get to Onitsha from North/South/West, you call the people that bade you farewell to join you in prayers as you just entered a danger zone!

I'm from Anambra and it saddens me hearing bad news like this in my state. We are not known to be like this and and it still baffles me how criminality entered so deep and continue to grow like this. Things we hear in other places before are now happening in our beloved land daily. May God help us to flush away criminals and criminal elements since security agents has failed us.
Bro, I am equally from Anambra, and I can tell you that this is a self inflicted injury upon ourselves. I started warning about this since 2016 when MNK started his rhetoric. They called me all sorts of names. Our people prefer to leave in denial than to accept the reality that this nzogbu nzogbu stupidity has caused grave damage to us. My uncle I once had an argument over his support for ESN was eventually killed by these same boys he was supporting in his filling station in Ozubulu. We buried another of their strong supporter this past April. He traveled home hale and hearty and attended a burial in Alor. On his way back, he was kidnapped by this criminals totured collected ransom and they still wasted him.

We the igbos do politics of emotions not what will benefit and bring development to us. Biafra in 1967 -1970 killed over 3 million people. Since we started this agitation, thousands of igbos have been killed and are still being killed on a daily basis. Tell me just one thing we have benefited from Biafra apart from death and destruction of property?

It is high time we reconsider this thing and tell ourselves the truth, because no one knows who will be the next victim. My uncle was there strong supporter but he still ended up a victim.

Precisely. The report is not telling us how they travelled. Whether by public transport or personal vehicle.

A decent police force would have done that since.

You are right, That's another issue to find out...

They can't just disappear into the blues just like that....
The major point of call could have been if they entered Anambra State that night and there was no communication again, then it will mean a bad omen...

They will surely find them I pray, and let it be in a good shape ...
Re: Police Seek Information As Five Travellers Go Missing In Anambra by AfonjaPriest: 10:38pm On May 22, 2025
It must be the fear of ogun state that made them to settle for Anambra.
Anyway, I pray they are found.
