Former University Of Ibadan Deputy VC Kidnapped On Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Abductors Demand N50m
A former deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics) of the University of Ibadan, Professor Adigun Agbaje, has been kidnapped by gunmen along the the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and his abductors are asking for a sum of N50m as ransom.
According to the Foundation for Investigative Journalism, Prof. Agbaje, who is currently on sabbatical at Olabisi Onabanjo University, was on his way to Ibadan at about 6pm on Friday when kidnappers blocked his way near Sat Guru Maharaji Garden.
The kidnappers also killed some policemen around the scene before making away with their captives, according to a source in UI.
Agbaje is a professor of Political Science and one of the UI’s most respected products. As gathered, he was, for several years, the only First-Class degree holder in the university’s department of Political Science, until the feat was matched in the 2000s by Tunde Oseni, who is now an Associate Professor at Lead City University, Ibadan.
