By Modupe Shodeinde
The abductors of Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Anchor University, Lagos State, Prof. Johnson Fatokun, have demanded a sum of 20 million ransom.
The Professor was kidnapped on Monday in Nassarawa while on his way to Lagos.
Punch Newspaper reported that he had left Lagos on Sunday to drop off his two children, who were schooling in the North, and on his way to the airport to return to Lagos on Monday, he was attacked by armed men in Police uniform.
“The professor had dropped his son at the Deeper Life High School in the morning. He also went to drop the daughter at a federal university in Jos.
“He was returning from Jos to Keffi, Nasarawa State, late in the evening when they encountered the gunmen on the road. The driver, however, manoeuvred his way and sped through them. The gunmen started chasing the vehicle and shooting.
“There was another set of kidnappers right in front of them. They succeeded in stopping the vehicle. They beat up the driver, who managed to escape. The professor begged them for mercy, because those people were angry. That was how they whisked him away.” Punch quoted a source.
It was gathered that the Kidnappers have been in touch with church leaders and demanded for a sum of N20 million as ransom.
Fatokun is a professor of Computational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis, at Anchor University, a faith-based institution in Ayobo, Lagos, owned by the Deeper Christian Life Ministry.
