The news of her kidnapping was revealed by Pastor Ebi Ogoloma, the Director of Administration at the station. Mrs. Nwokocha was forcefully taken between 7pm and 8pm on Friday, July 21, while on her way home from work along Slaughter/YKC road in Port Harcourt.

The NUJ has already contacted CP Nwonyi Polycarp Emeka, the Commissioner of Police, who advised the family to file a preliminary report at the nearest Police Station.

As of now, no contact has been made by the kidnappers, and Mrs. Nwokocha's whereabouts remain unknown. The situation is deeply concerning, and efforts are underway to secure her safe return.
