Dr. Umar also stated that the kidnappers are demanding N50 million for each of the six people kidnapped.
The lecturers expressed their dissatisfaction with the security agencies’ failure to deploy adequate surveillance equipment to track down criminals.
Umar’s remark comes just a few days after unidentified gunmen attacked the school’s staff quarters.
Six people were abducted, 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, and Dr Tobins.
