Missing NYSC Lawyer Eunice Ameh Found Safe…- TheConclaveNg

Relief spread across Abuja’s legal community on Sunday after National Youth Service Corps member and lawyer Eunice Ameh was found safe and sound, days after she was reported missing.

Family sources confirmed she was found unharmed on Sunday morning, ending days of uncertainty.

“She was found unharmed this morning,” a family source said.

Details of her disappearance and how she was found had not been officially disclosed at the time of filing this report.

Ameh was last seen on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, after leaving work in Abuja. His passing has sparked concern among colleagues, friends and members of the legal profession.

The news came hours after the Nigerian Bar Association publicly called for her immediate release and urged security agencies to step up efforts to find her.

– NBA reaction-

In a statement titled “Release Eunice Ameh Now!” NBA president Afam Osigwe called the incident deeply disturbing.

“When a young lawyer disappears, the pain is not far from the Nigerian Bar Association – it is personal,” he said. “We are more than a professional body; we are a community bound by shared sacrifice, shared dreams and a collective duty to stand up for each other.”

Ameh was serving in the FCT under the NYSC programme. She disappeared in worrying circumstances after work, sparking anxiety among colleagues and relatives.

“No young Nigerian who answered the call to national service should go missing without an immediate, coordinated and determined response from our security agencies,” the NBA added, urging the Inspector General of Police to deploy tactical and intelligence resources to ensure his recovery and bring anyone involved to justice.

Family sources said Ameh had only recently started as a sales manager at Blades and Butchers Ltd in Lake Chad Crescent, Maitama, Abuja.

He recovered about two weeks before he disappeared and was also preparing to complete his NYSC service.

“He works at Lake Chad Crescent with Blades and Butchers in Maitama. He just started two weeks ago,” a family source said previously.

She was last seen around 5.40pm on Wednesday walking home towards Life Camp Junction, where she lived in a corps members’ residence.

The case was reported to the Maitama Police Division and NYSC authorities were informed. Before his recovery, relatives described the wait as traumatic and emotionally devastating.

For now, the focus shifts to his well-being and ensuring he receives the support he needs.
