Life is not the same again for Academic Staff
of University of Calabar. In the late hours of
yesterday the 2nd of May 2016, three persons
were abducted by men of the underworld. The
affected persons were the wife and daughter of
an academic staff in the medical college Dr.
Ndifon and the son of Barr Aniema of the
graduate school. While attempts were made on
five different families, only the families of Dr.
Aniema and Dr. Ndifon fell into the hands of
men of the underworld.

The security men inclusive of soldiers and
police men were quickly called but before they
could reach the vicinity, the men had whisked
away with the abducted persons through a
ready speed boat in the riverine area of the
University.

The security challenges in the University seems
unabated as the university security seems too
unequipped to contain the sophisticated armory
of the men of the underworld. The security
challenge is made complex due to the terrain
that has an adjournment of both a thick bush
and a river that serves an escape root for
criminals after their nefarious activities
Unable to contain the security threats, the
Academic Staff Union of University, Unical
Chapter had declared a 7 day solidarity strike to
call on the University management, the state
and federal government to come to their aid.
Meanwhile an ad hoc committee has been
formed to look at the holistic security
challenges and make recommendations to the
university management and government
Academic activities are expected to resume on
the 11 th of May , 2016.
