On Thursday, unidentified gunmen kidnapped Mrs. Elizabeth Uruakpa, an Assistant Chief Nursing Officer at Babcock University Teaching Hospital in Ilisan Remo.
Uruakpa, 66, was reportedly returning from an evening church service when the gunmen, who had been lying in wait, attacked her at the entrance of her home behind the new Ilisan market.
The incident caused widespread panic in the neighborhood, with many residents and shop owners quickly closing their doors to avoid being caught off guard.
A resident of the area who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, said, “The woman was coming back from the church in the evening around 7 pm when the gunmen abducted her. I know her very well, she’s a senior nursing staff with Babcock University Teaching Hospital and a member of the Winners’ Chapel.
“They dragged her down from her vehicle, put her in their red Toyota car and sped away. It was really like thunder lightning, and such a thing had never happened before in our neighbourhood. It is so strange and scary.”
The university’s Director of Communication and Marketing, Dr Joshua Suleiman, confirmed the worrisome development to our correspondent on Friday.
He said. “I heard about it last night. It is on one of the university’s platforms but I don’t have a comprehensive report about it. Someone is already working on getting more information about this and as soon as it is ready, I will get across to you. ”
Attempts to reach Omolola Odutola, the spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, for a response were unsuccessful. Calls to her mobile number were unanswered, and messages sent to her were not replied to at the time of this report.
