JP AAU-
Prof. Celestina Isiramen, a lecturer at Ambrose Alli
University(AAU) in Ekpoma, Edo, who was
abducted by unknown gunmen last week
Wednesday has regained her freedom.
Her release came as the university community of
Ekpoma was thrown into mourning, following
the death of Prof. Solomon Momoh of the Institute
of Education.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
Isiramen was released to her family on Thursday
morning amidst jubilation by family members. Isiramen, of the Religious Management and
Cultural Studies Department, was abducted by
unknown gun men while driving into her
residence.
The kidnappers forcibly made her to leave her
vehicle and entered theirs, whisking her away to
an unknown destination.
NAN reports that the amount said to have been
paid to secure her release could not be
ascertained. Meanwhile, the university community was on
Thursday morning engulfed in mourning after
Momoh slumped and died in his office.
It was gathered that the deceased professor had
just returned from lecture hall when he collapsed
as he was entering his office. All efforts to revive him failed as he gave up the
ghost before any medical attention could be
arranged.
A spokesman for the university confirmed the
two incidents. (NAN)
