The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has intensified efforts to locate Emmanuel Terfa, popularly known as Stoner, a 25-year-old Benue State University graduate who went missing on January 8, 2026, from his residence in Guzape Village, Abuja. The missing man, an indigene of Makurdi Local Government Area in Benue State, has not been seen or heard from since that date, prompting a public appeal for assistance in his search. Police have confirmed that Emmanuel is over six feet tall, has a chocolate complexion, a slightly heavy build, and wears dreadlocks. He is fluent in both English and Hausa, which may help in identifying him if he is spotted in any part of the country.
The FCT Police Command, through its spokesperson Josephine Adeh, has issued a formal statement urging members of the public to come forward with any information that could aid in locating the missing youth. The statement emphasized that Emmanuel’s last known location was his home in Guzape, a residential area in Abuja, and that he had no known travel plans or conflicts prior to his disappearance. Authorities are treating the case with urgency, given the lack of communication from Emmanuel since his vanishing. The police have not ruled out any possibilities and are conducting door-to-door investigations and reviewing surveillance footage from nearby areas.
Josephine Adeh reiterated that anyone with useful information is encouraged to report to the nearest police station or contact the FCT Police Command directly. The force is also collaborating with community leaders and local residents in Guzape and surrounding areas to gather leads. Despite the passage of time, no official cause for Emmanuel’s disappearance has been confirmed, and his family remains anxious and hopeful for his safe return. The police have assured the public that all necessary steps are being taken to ensure a thorough and swift investigation.
Emmanuel’s case has drawn attention from various quarters, with friends and former classmates expressing concern on social media. His disappearance has also sparked discussions about youth safety in urban areas, especially in densely populated neighborhoods like Guzape. The police have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or sightings that may be linked to the case. As the search continues, authorities are appealing for cooperation from all Nigerians, emphasizing that even the smallest tip could be crucial in bringing Emmanuel home.
This incident underscores the importance of community involvement in missing persons cases, especially when young adults vanish without explanation. The FCT Police Command remains committed to resolving the case and ensuring justice for Emmanuel and his family. The hope is that with public support and continued investigation, Emmanuel Terfa will be found safe and returned to his loved ones soon.
