Members of the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) have given the Federal Government a 48-hour ultimatum to rescue victims of the kidnap at the staff quarters of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA).
ASUU Chairman in the institution, Dr Kasim Umar, while addressing journalists in Abuja, on Thursday, said they were dissatisfied with the inability of security agencies to rescue their colleagues 48 hours since the abduction.
According to him, the kidnappers had made contact with the family members of the victims.
Dr Umar also said the abductors were demanding N50 million for each of the six persons abducted.
The lecturers lamented that they were unhappy that the security agencies were not deploying adequate surveillance equipment in tracking down the criminals.
Umar’s comment is coming a few days after some yet-to-be-identified gunmen attacked the staff quarters of the school.
Six persons were kidnapped, including two professors, one senior lecturer, and three of their family members.
Those abducted were identified as Professor Obansa and his son; Professor Oboscolo, his son and daughters, as well as Dr Tobins.
