Police Rescued UNIABUJA Professors And Others Who Had Been Kidnapped.

 The six University of Abuja staff members who were kidnapped by gunmen on Tuesday have allegedly been recovered by police and reunited with their families.


The rescue operation's details were vague, but Josephine Adeh, a spokesperson for the Federal Capital Police Command, verified the news in a statement this morning.


Two professors, a non-academic staff member, and three others were kidnapped from their official quarters, according to the PUNCH.


Over a dozen hoodlums are claimed to have fired their way into the compound and abducted their victims.


Twenty-four hours later, they demanded N300 million ransom.

It was unclear whether a ransom was paid before the victims were allegedly rescued by the police.


However, Adeh in her statement said “The FCT Police Command wishes to inform members of the public that all abducted victims of the University of Abuja were rescued and reunited with their families through a joint operation with other security agencies. More details coming soon.”
