A staff member of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) Mr. Omoniyi Eleyinmi has been reportedly abducted by gunmen at his residence in Supare-Akoko, Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo State. Eleyinmi, who serves as the Faculty Officer in the Faculty of Education and member of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), was kidnapped on Monday evening shortly after returning from work. According to a Save-Our-Soul message shared by a senior lecturer of the institution, the gunmen stormed Eleyinmis residence along the Akungba-Supare road around 7:00 p.m. on Monday, August 4, shooting sporadically to scare away residents before abducting him. One of our SSANU members, Mr. Omoniyi Eleyinmi was kidnapped at his residence this evening at Supare-Akoko. He had just returned from work when the incident occurred, the lecturer stated.  The victims wife, who narrowly escaped the attack, said her husband was not at home when the assailants initially arrived in commando style. She revealed that the kidnappers were still at the premises, firing gunshots, when Eleyinmi returned, only to be seized and taken away immediately. Spokesperson for the Ondo State Police Command, Olayinka Ayanlade, when contacted via phone, said he could not immediately confirm the incident but promised to get back over the development.  The post Gunmen abduct AAUA faculty staff in Ondo appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
