Two lecturers of Bowen University, Iwo, Osun state, were abducted by suspected kidnappers on Monday.
Reported said the lecturers were coming from Ilesha when their abductors stopped their vehicles around Idominasi, a town in Obokun local government.
One of the lecturers was shot and two abducted, while one of the lecturers managed to escape uninjured.
According to one of the staff of Osogbo local government, identified as Kolawole, whose vehicle was also attacked, he said, “The kidnappers were about five in number and spoke in Yoruba. They stopped a vehicle in front of our own vehicle. The men dressed in black and were armed with sophisticated weapons.
“The driver of the vehicle in front of us attempted to run and the vehicle was shot at. We all fled into the bush. The men spoke in fluent Yoruba language.”
Spokesperson of Osun Police Command, Folasade Odoro, said two persons were abducted.
“But the information is still sketchy for now. Our men are still in the bush. We are on the trail of their abductors.”
It was reported that, several phones calls were made to reach the Registrar of the institution, Dr. Kayode Ogunleye, prove abortive, and including text message to his line was not responded to.
