Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted an Assistant Chief Nursing Officer with the Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilisan Remo, Mrs Elizabeth Uruakpa.
The 66-year-old woman was said to be returning from church service on Thursday evening, September 5, 2024, when the gunmen who had laid ambush at the entrance of her house behind the new Ilisan market, whisked her away to an unknown destination.
“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,” a source told The PUNCH.
“They dragged her down from her vehicle, put her in their red Toyota car and sped away. It was really like thunder and lightning, and such a thing had never happened before in our neighbourhood. It is so strange and scary.”
The Director of Communication and Marketing of the university, Dr Joshua Suleiman, confirmed the development of the publication on Friday.
“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.”
