A top official of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mr. Okun Christopher, and his driver, Mr. Daniel Asibong, have mysteriously gone missing while traveling on the Onitsha-Owerri highway. The incident, which has sparked widespread concern, was confirmed by the NYSC’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, during a press briefing in Abuja.
Mr. Christopher, the NYSC Akwa Ibom State Coordinator, and his driver were last seen on July 29, 2024, as they journeyed to Uyo in Akwa Ibom State. The duo was traveling in a white official Hilux vehicle with the number plate 27D31FG, which has also disappeared.
Despite extensive efforts by authorities to locate them, their whereabouts remain unknown. “The NYSC urges anyone with information to come forward and contact any of the 37 NYSC State Secretariats, Area Offices, the National Directorate Headquarters in Abuja, or the nearest police station or security agency,” Megwa stated.
The NYSC, along with other security agencies, is actively investigating the incident to uncover the circumstances surrounding their disappearance.
