A former Deputy Vice Chancellor of Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti (EKSU), Professor Femi Olaofe, has been abducted from his home at Housing Estate, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State capital.

Olaofe, a native of Are-Ekiti, Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area, is a Professor of Industrial Chemistry, who recently retired from the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti. His neighbours say the victim had just returned from a short trip to Lagos to see his children on Monday when the gunmen stormed his residence on Tuesday and abducted him.

“We saw him on Monday when he returned from his trip to Lagos. We greeted and exchanged pleasantries. We also saw his gateman who lives with him. As a retired Professor, his house is very calm and always quiet. We have been neighbours for a long time. Anytime he drives out he will always wait to say hello. On Tuesday, we noticed that the gate of his house was left open. This was strange because the gate was always closed. We approached the gate with the intention of calling the security man to shut the gate. We called the security man, there was no answer.

We made our way into the living room, as we got closer, we noticed the door to the living room was widely opened. We shouted Professor thrice! There was no response. We decided to go around the compound, and yet we couldn’t find anyone.

At this point, we became suspicious that something had happened. We thereafter, decided to approach the Divisional Police Station, Housing Estate where we made a report. The police quickly swung into action.

It was yesterday that we had a report of how some kidnappers came into his house and demanded for the key to his car. We learnt that he was taken away in the car along with his security man.” a neighbour told Channels TV

Meanwhile, the Are-Ekiti Development Association (ÀŔEDAA) has charged the Ekiti State Police Command to do everything humanly possible to secure the release of the Don, as the kidnappers are demanding N50 million ransom.
