Woman Laments, As Gunmen Kidnap Father, Set House Ablaze In Imo

A young lady, Princess Ugonna Ogbu (IG: iam_queenugonna) has taken to social media to cry for help, following the abduction of her father who is a traditional ruler, and the burning of their family house by gunmen in Imo state on Sunday night.

Princess Ugonna revealed in the video that the whereabouts of her abducted father remain unknown, as the family reels from the loss incurred in the inferno.

The post from Princess Ugonna reads, “??my name is Princess Ugonna Ogbu am an ex-beauty Queen and a graduate of Abia State University, am from Okigwe in IMO state, is so unfortunate that the IMO state government @he_hopeuzodimma will come to social media and assure the world and Nigerians at large that IMO state is safe, whereby we are dying on daily basis,

“Last night my family house in Ihube Okigwe IMO state and my dad’s car was set ablaze by unknown gunmen and my dad HRM Eze Paul Ogbu was abducted to an unknown destination, all my credentials both that of my siblings all burnt to ashes ???

She further revealed how the Nigerian Police and Fire Service failed to provide any help when contacted by the distressed family,

She continued, “As at the time of this incident we called the Police (@nigeriapoliceforce) this was at 11:55pm they ask us where is okigwe located, we still explain they gave us a number to call force headquarters that they will assist us of which we called, the line was not picked. We called back the number that gave us the force headquarters number only for them to tell us there is nothing they can do??.

“At this point all hope was lost ,we called the fire service (@nigeria.fireandrescue) at Okigwe only for them to tell us that they dont have water to stop the fire???as you can see in the video, the house and everything in it burnt to ashes no single pin came out.

“Up till now, my father’s whereabouts are still unknown and no information whatsoever. Am Using this opportunity to call on well-meaning Nigerians to come to our aid, because there is no hope for the common man in this our country.

“I really want my dad back all we laboured for in years just vanished”.
