Edo: ASUU Zonal Coordinator Escapes From Kidnappers’ Den

The Benin Zonal Coordinator of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Prof. Monday Igbafe, has escaped from the den of kidnappers in Edo.

The suspected kidnappers ambushed Igbafen, on Saturday night at the entrance of his residence in the community.

Prof Igbafe is a lecturer at the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma.

It was gathered that the gunmen hijacked his Toyota Highlander and whisked him away to an unknown destination.

The kidnappers were said to have given up on the victim due to the pressure from the bush combing by operatives of the police division in Ekpoma.

When contacted on Monday, the Public Relations Officer of the Police Command, SP Moses Yamu, confirmed the escape of the don from the den of kidnappers.

“The command is aware of the report. Operatives of the Ekpoma Division mounted pressure on the kidnappers which led to the escape of the victim.

“We are on the trail of the suspects to ensure that they are brought to book” Yamu said.
