The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that the State Coordinator for Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Okun Christopher; and his driver, Mr Daniel Effiong Asibong; are missing.
The Director Press and Public Relations Department of the Corps, Eddy Megwa, who made this disclosure during a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, 7 August, 2024, said they were abducted between Delta and Akwa Ibom States while traveling for an official assignment on Monday, 29 July, 2024.
Megwa lamented that since their abduction, all efforts to locate their whereabout have yielded no results.
He said the scheme was in touch with their families in the bid to get any information about their whereabouts, just as he also pleaded with anyone who has useful information on their whereabouts to reach out to the scheme.
The vehicle they were commuting with was a white official Hilux with registration number “27D31FG”.
“Anyone with useful information regarding their whereabouts should contact any of the 37 NYSC state secretariats, area offices, and the national directorate headquarters in Abuja or the nearest police station or other security agencies for prompt action,” he said.
Okun assumed duty as the 19th state coordinator of the NYSC in Akwa Ibom in April 2024.
