An Abuja based and renowned veterinary doctor, Dr Ifeanyi Ogbu who was the former chairman of the Nigerian Veterinary Medical Association (NVMA), FCT chapter, has been murdered in Abuja.

Armed men we gathered invaded his residence in Kubwa, abducted him alongside his three children, and later dumped his body by the roadside. His children are still missing as of press time.

A friend of the deceased, Andrew Gabriel Ikechukwu, broke the news on his Facebook page, confirming that Ogbu had been taken with his children before his death was discovered.

He wrote, “Dr. Ifeanyi Ogbu, the immediate past chairman of the NVMA FCT chapter, who was kidnapped alongside his three children from his home in Kubwa Abuja, was found dead. The three children are yet to be released. May God please intervene.”

The late Ogbu, described by colleagues as a dedicated professional, leaves behind a nursing wife and grieving family members.
