BREAKING: Professors, Other Abducted Staff Of Uni-Abuja Rescued, Suspects Arrested

Two University of Abuja professors and other staff members who were kidnapped recently have recovered their freedom.

Recall that on Monday, some criminal elements suspected of being kidnappers broke into the university’s staff quarters and carried some inhabitants away to an unknown place.

The kidnappers called the victims’ relatives a day after their kidnapping and wanted N300 million in exchange for their release.

However, DSP Josephine Adeh, the Federal Capital Territory Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, verified their release to DAILY POST on Friday morning.

The development, she said, came as a result of the command’s efforts in a combined operation with other security agencies.

Security operatives have apprehended some suspects linked to the crime, she said.

The PPRO, on the other hand, was unable to say whether a ransom was paid before their release.
