Terror In Abuja: Former NVMA Chairman Gunned Down, Children Kidnapped In Cold-Blooded Attack See What happened

A renowned veterinary doctor and immediate past chairman of the Nigerian Veterinary Medical Association (NVMA), FCT chapter, Dr. Ifeanyi Ogbu, has been brutally murdered in Abuja.

Armed men reportedly stormed his Kubwa residence, abducted him along with his three children, and later dumped his lifeless body by the roadside. As of press time, his children remain missing.

A close friend of the deceased, Andrew Gabriel Ikechukwu, confirmed the tragic development on Facebook, writing:

“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.”

Colleagues have described the late Ogbu as a committed professional who leaves behind a nursing wife and heartbroken family.

His killing comes just days after the shocking murder of 29-year-old Arise TV anchor, Somtochukwu Maduagwu, during a robbery at her Katampe home. Maduagwu, a lawyer-turned-journalist, was widely respected for her advocacy on gender-based violence and education reform. Her death drew nationwide outrage, prompting President Bola Tinubu to order a swift investigation.

Dr. Ogbu’s murder has now deepened the wave of grief and condemnation in the capital. A colleague mourned him as “a great loss,” lamenting the worsening insecurity plaguing Abuja.
