Obia’s elder sister, Mrs. Sandra Nwonye, hid fiancĂ©e, Judith Agbaje, said in the petition that the man was deployed to Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital in August 2015 on special duties.
They said Obia was only heard from shortly after his arrival in Port Harcourt and up till March 8, 2016 when he told them that he was on a vessel “onshore,” carrying out national assignment on the high seas.
The family members added that apart from calls, text messages sent to his GSM lines since then were neither answered nor replied. According to them, one of his close friends and colleague in Port Harcourt had confirmed that he had not also heard from Obia. “He joined the civil defence corps five years ago and was posted to Benin the state capital before his deployment.
In December, he sent me some money and promised to visit but he never came. “We went to the NSCDC offices in Benin City and Port Harcourt and the authorities did not tell us anything satisfactory about his disappearance except, of course, to impute blame on him,” Nwonye said. Also, Agbeye said: “We were going to get married and he said he would be in Benin the weekend we last heard from him.
