Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted a professor with the Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Jos, Grace Ayanbimpe and her husband.
The lecturer
and her husband were kidnapped by the gunmen who stormed their residence behind
Haske Quarters, Lamingo in Jos North Local Government Area of the state in the
early hours of Monday, May 17.
A resident of
the community, Philip Dachung, who confirmed the incident to Punch in Jos, said
the where-about of the couple is unknown.
"The
kidnappers came to their house around 2 am. They broke into their apartment and
shot into the air. Neighbours who were terrified by sounds of gunshots could
not come out for the fear of being hit by stray bullets. So, this morning, we
discovered that the gunmen had taken the professor and her husband away. We
don’t where they are right now.” he said.
A staff of
the University of Jos, who also confirmed the incident, said, “This morning, we
got information that Prof Grace Ayanbimpe of Department of Medical Microbiology
was abducted from their residence along with her husband. Please, pray for
their safe and quick release from their abductors. May we also see the end of
insecurity in our country.”
