On a bright and hopeful morning, the serene landscape of Nkwoegwu, Ohuhu, in Umuahia, bore witness to a meeting of great minds and compassionate hearts. Capt. Sir Maclouis Chidozie Ohakah (Ugwu Umuopara), the esteemed President of the Chidozie Ohakah Foundation, embarked on a significant courtesy visit to Hon. Obi Aguocha, the dedicated Federal Member representing the vibrant people of Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency. This gathering was not just a mere formality but a deep-rooted endeavor to forge paths for the betterment of the sons and daughters of Ikwuano Umuahia.

The atmosphere was charged with a sense of urgency and purpose as Capt.

Central to their discussion was the pressing issue of kidnapping, a menace that has cast a long shadow over the region. With a blend of determination and collaborative spirit, they explored robust strategies to curb this menace, aiming to restore peace and security to their beloved constituency.
