A former Deputy Vice Chancellor of the Ekiti State University Ado-Ekiti, (EKSU), Prof. Femi Olaofe, has been kidnapped.
The State Police Commissioner Adeniran Akinwale stated this on Friday, saying the Prof was kidnapped quietly from his house.
”The professor lives alone with only the guard. Quietly, because it was one small girl who saw the vehicle that moved out from the gate with speed that alerted people on the day of the incident, that should be in the night.
“They moved out, and before police would get wind of it, they had gone.
“We have started working on it. The man has no wife at present because his wife died. His children are not here. We are tracking them.
“We have recovered the vehicle of the professor which they used to whisk him away from his house.
“We recovered it on Afao road in the night. We are trailing the professor with the culprits.
“By the special grace of God, we are going to rescue the man unhurt,” the CP said.
Olaofe, a native of Are-Ekiti, Irepodun/Ifelodun local government area of Ekiti, was a Professor of Industrial Chemistry before his recent retirement from the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti.
