SSS Alleges Plot to Kidnap 2 MinistersThe face-off between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may have taken a new turn as it was alleged yesterday that some students had planned to kidnap the Education Minister, Dr. Sam Egwu, and his Labour and Productivity counterpart, Prince Adetokunbo Kayode. The Assistant Director, Public Relations of the State Security Service (SSS), Marilyn Ogar, told journalists in Abuja that a report of preliminary investigation indicated that both ministers were to be kidnapped by a gang of four men operating as students protesting the lingering strike by lecturers. But the plot was foiled by the SSS before it was carried out. The four suspects were said to have confessed upon interrogation.
THISDAY was informed that they had planned to demand the sum of N300 million from the Federal Government.
