Former Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics) of the University of Ibadan, Professor Adigun Agbaje, who was kidnapped along the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway has been released.
According to Professor Remi Aiyede, Head of Department, Political Science, University of Ibadan, Professor Agbaje was released a few hours ago and is undergoing medical checkup.
He told Tribune Online, “Prof Agbaje has just been released about few hours ago. He is okay and undergoing medical checkup”
It would be recalled that Agbaje, who is on sabbatical at Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, was on his way to Ibadan at about 6pm on Friday, when the kidnappers blocked his way very close to the Sat Guru Maharaji Garden, and kidnapped him.
RENOWNED Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has chastised the move by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to change the new Naira notes, saying their argument and other reasons might push the hoodlums to demand for dollars.
After a temporary respite from the onslaught of kidnappers along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway/Ibadan-Ijebu Ode road, gunmen resumed ‘business’ on Friday.
