The family of Professor Gertrude Nnanjar Njar, the Cross River State Commissioner for Women Affairs who was abducted more than a month ago, has pleaded with the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to assist in her release.
In the early morning hours of February 1, 2023, Prof. Gertrude was abducted by armed men wearing military fatigues while traveling to the office in her official Renault automobile on Atamunu Street in Calabar.
The family claimed that the kidnappers drove a white Hilux and afterwards sought a N150m ransom using phone number 09074056593 in a petition filed by a Prince Odey Oyama dated March 2, 2023.

The petition reads in part: “It is one month now since her kidnap without any positive results. This has given our entire family, community, friends and well-wishers deep concern.”
They called on the IGP to use his office to assist in tracing the woman.
When the incident happened, the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Eric Anderson, assured that the state government would do everything possible to rescue her.
