A fourth-year medical student of the Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, in Edo State, Miss Oghogho Christiana, has allegedly been kidnapped.

CAMPUS GIST gathered that Christiana was kidnapped along the Benin-Auchi road, Thursday evening.

President of the AAU Student Union Government, Mr. Osamagbe, confirmed the development in his post on social media.

A family member of the kidnap victim, who craved anonymity, also collaborated the report.

The source claimed the kidnappers have made contact and presently demanding N7 million ransom.

Checks by CAMPUS GIST on Christiana's WhatsApp status suggests she was kidnapped on her way to Ekpoma, near Benin City.

The post, which reads 4:12pm(yesterday), revealed she was to deliver starch and banga - which she deals on - to some customers.

Our AAU correspondent, who spoke to Christina's mother, reports that the victim's mother confirmed the development.

The mother said the kidnappers are demanding the sum of N7 million to release her daughter, adding that today(Friday) is the "last day" for payment.

Efforts to reach the AAU management via the Public Relations Officer, proved abortive. It was however gathered that course mates of the kidnap victim are trying to raise some funds.

Contacted, spokesman for the Edo State Police command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, said the police has not been briefed.

“We have not been briefed, the command is not aware of such development, once I am briefed, I will let you know,” the Police PRO said on phone.

Christian's kidnap is coming barely one month a student of the school was allegedly abducted on same Benin-Auchi road. The story, however, turned out be false much later.
