Gunmen on Friday evening abducted a lecturer of the Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile Ife, Dr. Femi Omisore, on his way to attend a funeral at Oye
Ekiti in Ekiti State.
Our correspondent gathered on Sunday that Omisore, a lecturer at the
Department of Environmental Design Management of OAU, was abducted in
Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, on his way to attend the ceremony.
His captors, who were said to be armed with guns, were said to have trailed
him for a while and his driver tried all he could to avoid being overtaken by
the hoodlums.
On catching up with him, the hoodlums were said to have killed the driver out
of anger and forced Omisore out of his car before he was taken away to an
unknown place.
The gunmen, it was farther gathered, fired several shots at the petrol tank of
the lecturer’s car and ensured that the car caught fire before they left the
scene.
The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, OAU chapter, Dr.
Caleb Aborisade, confirmed the incident to our correspondent on the
telephone.
Aborisade said, “According to the information I gathered from his family, Dr.
Femi Omisore was kidnapped on Friday evening. He was going for a funeral
ceremony in Oye Ekiti.
“I learnt that a member of his department was burying his father in Oye Ekiti
and he was traveling there when he was kidnapped.
“The kidnappers use his telephone to call his wife this morning ( Sunday) and
they demanded N70 million ransom.
“We are not politicians, we are running our union with stipends from our
members and where do they expect us to get such amount.”
He appealed to Omsiore’s abductor to release the lecturer, saying the family
was not rich and could not afford to pay such a huge amount of money.
The abduction was also confirmed to our correspondent on the telephone by
the Chairman of Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, Osun State
Polytechnic, Iree chapter, Mr. Dotun Omisore, who is a nephew of the
abducted lecturer.
The ASUP chairman expressed concern at the way lecturers and members of
their families were becoming targets of abduction.
