The suspended dean of law faculty of the University of Calabar (UNICAL), Professor Cyril Osim Ndifon, has been reportedly abducted by gunmen.
It was learnt that the gunmen, numbering about 8, stormed the residence of Prof Ndifon at Akpabuyo at about 1am and whisked him away.
A family source told journalists that 10 heavily armed men jumped over the fence into the compound and went straight into his room, picked him up, dragged him into a waiting van and zoomed off.
“The incident happened between the hours of 12:00–1:00 a.m. on Thursday while we were asleep. We heard a bang on our door, and a voice shouted we should open the door or else they would blow the door open if we did not open it at that moment.
“Without dilly-dallying, ten heavily armed men jumped over the fence into the compound and went straight into Oga’s room, picked him up, dragged him into a waiting van and zoomed off,” a family source said.
The embattled law professor earlier alleged that some masked men were after him and attempted to abduct him in church.
