Police in Benue State say the medical doctor reported missing from Multicare Hospital in Makurdi, Dr. Jonah Ogbaji, was not abducted. Instead, police say he was arrested by operatives from Abuja and is in custody.
According to the reports, Ogbaji was initially reported to have been taken from the hospital premises at Ankpa Quarters Ward, Makurdi, on Wednesday night, which prompted concerns from his family and colleagues and led to public claims of an abduction. The police clarification shifts the explanation from alleged kidnapping to an arrest action conducted by Abuja operatives.
Both outlets describe the same individual and similar circumstances around his disappearance from the hospital area, but they focus on the police response: that the case involves detention by security operatives rather than abduction. The outlets do not provide further details on the reasons for his arrest or subsequent charges, if any.
