Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted three undergraduates at the Freedom Hostel situated at the staff quarters of the University of Calabar.
The abducted students include Dickson Oluwadamilola Ayomide of Genetics and Biotechnology, Ojang Precious Ebijin of Medicine and Surgery, and Ugwu Chukwuemeka, also of Genetics and Biotechnology departments of the University.
Eye witness said the incident happened on March 29, 2024 at about 7:00 pm quietly and subsequently whisked away their victims into unknown destination.
The University management has not formally reacted to the incident as well as the State Command of the Nigeria Police.
Last week during its 36th Convocation exercise, the Vice Chancellor of the institution Professor Florence Obi drew attention of the Education Minister Professor Tahir Mamman to the parlous security situation in the institution particularly along its waterways.
She particularly highlighted the case of Professor Ekanem Ephraim, a consultant gynaecologist in the institution who was abducted last year and yet to secure her freedom.
