He noted that the other victim, Professor S. O. Eze of the Department of Industrial Chemistry was yet to be freed.

The lecturers along with other commuters who were traveling for a religious programme were abducted on Thursday evening by some suspected Fulani bandits terrorising motorists on the Uturu/Isuikwuato Road.

According to reports, the abductors marched them into the bush after forcing their vehicles to a halt following the sporadic shooting.

Despite assurances by security agencies, abduction for ransom by Fulani bandits has persisted along Isuikwuato/Bende axis.
