The Edo State Police Command on Saturday said it had recovered the official car of Prof. Gideon Okedayo, a lecturer with the Ondo State University of Science and Technology (OSUSTECH), Okitipupa who was kidnapped on Thursday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the lecturer was kidnapped along with his driver in his official car, a Toyota Corolla marked 06X 47 OD, at Akoko junction on Auchi-Igara road while going to his hometown in Igara in Edo State.

The abducted lecturer’s driver, Mr Sunday Omonigbo, who was later released by the gunmen after a deep cutlass cut in his right hand, reported the case at the Igara Police Division.

DSP Chidi Nwabuzor, the Command’s Public Relations Officer confirmed the recovery of the lecturer’s official car to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the telephone.

He also said efforts were being made to ensure that the lecturer regained freedom from his abductors, promising to keep the press abreast of further developments.

The anonymous speaker said that the abductors had yet to call the family to ask for any ransom, praying that Prof. Okedayo be released divinely.

“The abductors are yet to call the family for any ransom and his whereabouts is unknown right now, we urge the Police to step up their investigations so that he can be released unhurt,” the anonymous speaker said.

NAN reports that Prof. Okedayo is a lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and an Acting Dean, School of Postgraduate Studies, OSUSTECH in Okitipupa.
