Abia women from Umuopara clan in Umuahia South Local Government, Tuesday poured out in their hundreds to protest the continued captivity of their illustrious son, Prof. Uwadinachi Iweha, who was abducted by gunmen over two months ago.
Several protests, including the withdrawal of services for three days by medical doctors as directed by the Abia State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association , as well as efforts by security agencies have all failed to compel the abductors to release the doctor from their custody. They also marched to the home of the missing Professor and then to the market square where they cried out in tearful prayers calling for divine intervention.
“We are also calling on government and security agencies to expedite action for his release,” the woman leader added. “So long as we have not seen him, we will continue to look for him and we have faith that we will find him. One is not supposed to be lost in the house of God,” he said, adding: “We are also appealing to the state government and security agencies to do more to ensure his release.”
