Gunmen kill driver, kidnap professor
PORT HARCOURT — Gunmen, yesterday, abducted the Director of Sports of the University of Port Harcourt, Professor Ken Anukweje.
His driver was reportedly shot dead before the gunmen disappeared with the professor, who was on his way to Port Harcourt international airport.
No group had claimed responsibility for the development and a text message to the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ahmad Muhammad, for comment on the issue was not responded to at press time.
Spokesman of the university, Dr William Wordi, said the university heard the story but was waiting for Police to confirm if he was abducted.
He said: “We heard it but we are waiting for the Police to finally confirm if he was kidnapped. His official car was involved in an incident like that but we have not confirmed.
“His driver was killed in the incident. We have not completely confirmed if it was a kidnap case.”
Vanguard gathered that the incident happened on Aluu-Airport link road and the driver who was shot dead, was assigned to him about two weeks ago.
