BREAKING: Family Cry Out as Kids Mysteriously Disappear from Anambra School
A sense of panic and despair has gripped the community of Nnewi, Anambra State, as parents and guardians of students of a popular primary school in the area are left reeling in shock and confusion following the sudden and unexplained disappearance of several children from the school.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident occurred on Wednesday morning when the students were in their classrooms, with some reports suggesting that the children vanished without a trace, leaving behind their belongings and school uniforms.
The affected families, who are still in a state of distress and anxiety, have taken to social media to plead for help and information about the whereabouts of their loved ones.
One of the parents, Mrs. Nneoma Nwosu, whose 7-year-old son, Chukwuemeka, is among the missing children, broke down in tears as she recounted the events of the day.
"I was at the school gate when I saw my son's classmates leaving the school without him. I thought he might have gone to the toilet or something, but when I went to look for him, he was nowhere to be found," she said, her voice trembling with emotion.
Another parent, Mr. Chukwuma Okoro, whose 9-year-old daughter, Nneoma, is also missing, expressed similar concerns.
"I was at work when I received a call from my wife that Nneoma was missing. We rushed to the school, but the teachers and authorities were unable to provide any information about her whereabouts. It's like they just vanished into thin air," he said.
The Anambra State Police Command has since launched an investigation into the incident, with the Commissioner of Police, Mr. John Abang, assuring the public that every effort is being made to locate the missing children and bring those responsible to justice.
"We are taking this matter very seriously and are working closely with the school authorities and other stakeholders to ensure that the children are found and reunited with their families," he said.
The incident has sparked widespread concern and outrage in the community, with many calling for greater vigilance and security measures to be put in place to prevent such incidents in the future.
As the search for the missing children continues, the families are left to wait anxiously for news of their loved ones, praying that they will be reunited soon.
