Sanusi Sa’ad, deputy registrar
administration, Taraba state university, Jalingo, was on Tuesday morning
kidnapped by unknown gunmen.
Samuel Shikaa, chairman of the
university’s chapter of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), confirmed
the incident.
Shikaa said that Sa’ad, who is
also the information and protocol officer of the institution, was picked from
his residence at the university staff quarters at about 1 am.
He explained that the kidnappers
invaded Sa’ad’s residence through the unfenced part of the university and took
him to an unknown destination.
Khalid Sa’ad, a brother to the
victim, told NAN that the kidnappers had contacted him and demanded a ransom.
He, however, did not mention the
amount being demanded, saying he was still negotiating with the kidnappers.
The institution’s branch of ASUU
embarked on an indefinite strike since April 3 over the insecurity of staff
resulting from lack of perimeter fencing, funding and pension for staff.
The school management had
subsequently shut down the institution and asked its students to vacate the
campus on Friday.
