The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has announced that its Akwa Ibom State Coordinator, Mr. Okun Christopher, and driver, Mr. Daniel Effiong Asibong, are unaccounted for. This has sparked concerns about their safety.
They were last seen travelling for an official assignment between Delta and Akwa Ibom States on Monday, 29 July 2024.
According to Eddy Megwa, Director of Press and Public Relations, the NYSC is working to determine the circumstances surrounding their disappearance, but their whereabouts remain unknown.
Megwa stated that the NYSC is in touch with their families and is exploring all possibilities, including the possibility of kidnapping.
Okun, who assumed duty as the 19th state coordinator in April 2024, and his driver were travelling in a white official Hilux with registration number ’27D31FG’.
The NYSC is urging anyone with information about their disappearance to come forward.
“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,” Megwa said.
