Corps Member Goes Missing In Bayelsa After Visiting Fellow Jehovah’s Witness Members

A 24-year-old corps member, Mr Levi Anyanwu whose NYSC registration number is BYS/25A/0244, has been declared missing in Bayelsa State.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Anyanwu, who has the Ijaw National Academy, Kaiama, Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government as his place of primary assignment, reportedly went missing on October 8, 2025, after visiting fellow members of Jehovah’s Witness.

Spokesman for the state police command, Musa Mohammed in a statement he issued on Sunday disclosed that the Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the state police command has been ordered to take measures to locate and produce the corps member.

Levi’s roommate ,the statement added, had assumed that he was with his fellow Jehovah’s Witnesses members, Mr. and Mrs Wisdom George, but they later said he had  though visited their residence but later left.

 ‘On 10/10/25, one, Mr Oke Emmanuel, a corps member, who is said to be the roommate of the subject, was invited by detectives and interrogated. He confirmed that the subject was with the George family until 06/10/25.

Further disclosures were made by Mr. George that the corps member complained of illness and was taken for treatment at the Kaiama Referral Hospital, on 04/10/25, and was reportedly discharged on 05/10/25. That on 06/10/25, the missing corps member disappeared to an unknown destination’ the statement said.

The police also noted that an investigation has been launched into allegations that two inmates of the Igbara Correctional Centre, Abeokuta, Ogun State, who posed as kidnappers, made parents of the corps member part with N100,000.

‘The missing youth corps member’s phone was left in his apartment. Detectives followed a GSM call from No 0906193291, which was later traced to an inmate detained at Igbara Correctional Custodian Centre, Abeokuta, in Ogun State, in connection with a kidnapping case.

The suspect claimed that they saw the telephone number on social media and decided to take advantage of the father of the victim, Mr Anyanwu Simon ‘m’ 56 years old. The sum of N100,000:00 was paid into the Opay account; 7042793493, belonging to one Atinuke Oluwalose, a close collaborator with the detained inmate at Abeokuta Prison.

From the findings by detectives, a disturbing realisation may have impelled the victim’s actions. There are declarations he made about certain recent social preferences and appetites that impinge on his religious beliefs.

Measures are still ongoing to consolidate law enforcement activities, to enable a proper conclusion on the findings of the detectives, as the findings are quite revealing. There is no case of kidnapping in this peculiar incident. Efforts are still ongoing to ensure that the ongoing inquiry produces positive results’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
