When Our Senior Correspondent visited Udu local government council secretariat to speak with the Transition Committee Chairman on the issue Wednesday April 17, he was told that the chairman was not on seat. He requested for the council chairman’s phone number from staffers in
the chairman’s office, but they refused to disclose it. As at the time of filing this report, no contact has been established with the abductors by members of Mr. Francis Odogun’s family.
