LEADERSHIP gathered that the victim, the Faculty Officer at the Faculty of Education was abducted at his house located along Akungba-Supare Road, Monday night.

It was further learnt that the gunmen whisked the victim to an undisclosed location after they shot sporadically into the air for several minutes to scare residents.

An official of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), who preferred anonymity, confirmed the abduction to journalists in Akure.

“According to his wife, he was not at home when the gunmen arrived at his residence and started opening fire but unfortunately, he arrived when the gunmen were still around and were immediately carried away by the gunmen,” the staff said.

Confirming the incident, Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ayanlade Olushola, said two staff of the institution were initially kidnapped, but a swift response from police operatives led to the rescue of one of the victims.

According to the PPRO, “The Commissioner of Police, CP Adebowale Lawal has directed that the rescued individual be debriefed to extract useful intelligence that could aid the rescue of the remaining victim.”
