Imo State Police Command says it has deployed personnel of its tactical units to rescue Hon. Ngozi Ogbu, the former lawmaker who represented Okigwe Local Government Area in the Imo State House of Assembly, who is currently being held hostage by bandits in the area.
This was contained in a press statement by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Henry Okoye, which added that the operation will also focus on arresting the bandits behind the criminal and inhuman action against Ogbu.
The statement read: “Imo State Police Command is aware of a viral video showing Hon. Ngozi Ogbu, former State Legislator who represented the Okigwe State Constituency, being held hostage by suspected IPOB/ESN terrorists.
The Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, CP Aboki Danjuma, has since ordered the immediate deployment of the Command’s Tactical Units, in synergy with other security agencies, and a detailed investigation has been launched to apprehend the hoodlums and ensure the safe rescue of the lawmaker who was abducted at Onuimo on 07/09/2025.
“The Command appeals to the general public to remain calm and vigilant. Anyone with useful information that can assist the ongoing operations should please contact the Imo State Police Command on 0803 477 3600 or report at the nearest Police Station.
The Imo State Police Command assures Imolites that it will not relent until the perpetrators are brought to justice and the victim is safely reunited with his family”, the statement read.
