Rivers state police said on Saturday, June 27, Rosemond Osagholu, the Vice Chancellor of Ignatius Ajuru University in Port Harcourt, who was abducted by gunmen has been finally released.
The professor was abducted by gunmen a week ago on June 20 as she was leaving the campus of the Rivers government-owned institution.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Ahmad Muhammad, the police public relations officer in Port Harcourt, said that Ms. Osagholu was released on June 26.
However, he did not disclose the exact location of her release or if any ransom was paid for her freedom. Also he did not also say if any arrest had been made.
“I can confirm to you that the Vice Chancellor of the Ignatius Ajuru University has been released. She is in good health and has been reunited with her family,” Mr Muhammad said.
Reportedly, the vice chancellor’s abduction threw the academic community into a state of shock. Unions, associations and groups in the academic community mounted pressure on the police to rescue her.
