OAU Lecturer Kidnapped By Unknown Gunmen

Dr. Femi Omisore, a lecturer in Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) has been reported kidnapped by unknown gunmen last friday.

He was said to be on his way to a burial ceremony in Oye-ekiti when he was attacked by the gunmen. It was learnt that the gunmen shot and killed his driver at the spot as the driver was said to have refused to stop when the gunmen ordered him to do so.

His car was later set ablaze by the gunmen after which they took Omisore to an unkown destination.

It was gathered that the kidnappers have called to demand a ransom of 70 million Naira.

This was disclosed by the chairman of Academic Staff Union of Universities.

He however called on the kidnappers to release the lecturer as the family of the man is not rich enough to provide the ransom they are demanding.
