Popular social media activist, Emmanuel Okoh, also known as Okwuluora, is currently facing serious backlash after claiming he was kidnapped during a visit to Umuaka in Imo State.
According to him, he had gone to Umuaka to help a kidney patient when he was allegedly abducted. He said he saw over 100 armed men at the kidnappers' camp—men he described as better armed than even the Nigerian military. Okwuluora insisted that they were all from Imo State, saying he recognised their dialect.
But many people are now questioning his story.
While some believe him, others are asking for proof. They want to know the exact place in Umuaka where he was kidnapped. Up till now, no eyewitness has come forward, and no clear location has been confirmed.
Onyi Nwa Imo, a fellow influencer, said that members of the Umuaka community in South Africa contacted him to challenge Okwuluora to provide clear evidence. They are demanding:
A copy of his bank statement showing the POS where the money was withdrawn.
A proper explanation of where exactly the incident took place.
Onyi said they have asked around in Umuaka, but no one can confirm that such a thing happened. He also noted that the community is peaceful and active, unlike how Okwuluora described it.
In fact, Orgazi, another respected voice, also weighed in. He said wealthy sons of Umuaka have reached out, ready to refund any money Okwuluora lost—but only if he can prove that the ransom was paid within Umuaka. Orgazi went live at Ofor Umuaka, showing that the place is full of life, with businesses running and people going about their normal day.
He criticized Okwuluora for calling Umuaka a “ghost town” and warning people to avoid the area. According to him, such statements are damaging and unfair to a town that is still peaceful and active.
Onyi also expressed disappointment over Okwuluora’s choice of words online, saying it’s wrong to scare people and destroy the image of a whole community based on an unverified personal experience.
Now, the ball is in Okwuluora’s court. The people are simply asking: If this really happened, just show us the proof.
