Gunmen abduct UNICAL lecturer, students

Seven armed men yesterday abducted a lecturer in the School of Medical Sciences, University of Calabar (UNICAL), Dr. Stephen Ndifon.

The gunmen invaded the residential quarters of the university in Calabar, Cross River State, and abducted Ndifon as well as two students of the institution.
It was learnt that the suspected kidnappers, who came in a speedboat through the Obufa Esuk River near the university staff quarters about 4a.m., were shooting indiscriminately before they stormed Ndifon’s house to abduct him and the students. Another lecturer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the students abducted were living in Ndifon’s boys quarters.
He said: “They came in from the water, which is quite close to the residential quarters and shot sporadically to scare away even our security men before invading Dr. Ndifon’s house to kidnap him.”
At press time, the abductors were yet to contact anybody or make demand. The UNICAL Information Officer, Effiong Eyo, said the matter had been reported to the police and investigation was in progress.
