UNICAL teacher, 2 students abducted by gun men

Unknown gun men, numbering about 7 have adopted a Unical lecturer from his Staff Quaters residence.

The victim, Dr. Stephen Ndifon, a lecturer in the College of Medical Sciences and also a Medical Doctor, was whisked away by the gun men who buggled his premises in the early hours of Tuesday, 3rd May. Witnesses and neighbours told our reporter that the gun men arrived around 4am, shooting sporadically into the air to scare away the people. After the operation which lasted for about 30 mins, Dr. Ndifon along with 2 other students who are resident in his boys quaters were kidnapped. The gun men quickly left the scence, using a speed boat with which they came.

Staff quaters residents who spoke with our correspondents expressed bitterness over the incident lamenting that this is one of the several criminal acts that take place in the area, most times in a broad day light. They questioned why the gun men could operate for such a long time without opposition from security personnel or the police.  The Airport police station is located outside the university, about 3 KM away.

 The school Public Relations Officer Mr. Eyo Effiong gave the assurance that the matter has been reported to the Nigerian Police Force.
