The Registrar of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde escaped assassination by whiskers when hired assassins went after him.
The incident happened on Monday night when the intruders scaled through the fence of the house, entered through the back door and gained entrance into the house while the security men attached to the compound did not notice as they were stationed at the gate of the house.
The security personnel which include two regular armed police men and other private security guards at the gate did not take notice of the incident throughout the period the operations lasted.
Confirming the incident, the Registrar said according to the story narrated to him by the children and relations who are staying with him, they were terrorized during the operation as the assassins were continuously asking and looking for their father, the Registrar. The children told the assassins that he has travelled for official assignments but the men were not convinced.
“They instructed one of the children to lead them into the Registrar’s living and study rooms which they searched thoroughly but could not find Prof. Dibu as he went on official assignments”
At that point, the assassins decided to look for him through the ceiling of the house moving from one ceiling to the other as they locked up the occupants in one of the living rooms thinking the Registrar was hiding up in the ceiling.
They searched and scattered every hiding places the assassins suspected the Registrar may be hiding. It was after their target could not be found that they left the house.
According to Prof. Dibu, “nothing was taken out of the expansive residence despite the thorough searching conducted on the compound”
The Registrar confirmed he travelled officially in preparation for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination slated for today, Saturday, April 27, 2013.
The incident is happening just a few days to the conduct of the Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examination, UTME, which is slated for today, Saturday. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

These pple are kidnappers more likely,not assassins. The security men were probably asleep or with some u know.....
ReplyDeleteThey will try again maybe on the road,near office, around church etc. Prof needs to change his entire security retinue. Thank God for the life of this humble man.
They were hired assasins. They could have taken any of the relations or children were they Kidnappers. There is no secure place in Nigeria and no real security personnel.
ReplyDeleteThank God for saving d prof, but such expensive house no security cams, no dogs & no reasonable guards? Police, olopa, ekelebe,its well. Our leaders must have a stiff penalty 4 such offenders then others will learn. Prof plz be careful, d attack is not yet over but God will keep u.
