Two Junior Secondary School (JSS) III pupils of the Federal Government College, Okposi, in Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, Tochukwu Eneh and Chukwuemeka Ugwu, have been abducted.
The teenagers were last seen on May 12.
Tochukwu is from Obioma while Chukwuemeka hails from Nsude, both in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State.
The boys were reportedly abducted from their school that Thursday.
A family source said the pupils, who had just finished their final examinations that same day, were preparing to go home the next day when they were snatched.
It was learnt that a group of schoolboys, including the duo, decided to get hair cut outside the school.
They were said to be returning to the school when they were accosted by suspected kidnappers, who ordered them to stop.
The teenagers reportedly ran towards different directions but their assailants were said to have caught up with them and carried them away.
It was gathered that the other pupils, except the two, returned to school.
But the boys were said to have been frightened beyond raising the alarm.
The incident was said to have remained unreported until the following day (May 13) when Tochukwu’s guardian did not see him as they had agreed.
The guardian, said to be a lady and a worker at the college, reportedly had some items she wanted Tochukwu to take to his mum in Enugu.
When she learnt about what happened, the lady was said to have notified the school authorities and the parents of the victims.
Police spokesman George Okafor, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), said he was not aware of the incident.
The spokesman said he was just returning from Abuja on an assignment. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
