He mentioned that the police are actively searching for the kidnappers.

“Yes, we know about the kidnapping of the professor, and we have started our investigation,” he said.

“As I speak, the Commissioner of Police, AbokiDanjuma, is leading a police team to Okigwe. The police promise that we will catch the kidnappers,” Okoye added.
