A widow and assistant Chief Nursing Officer with the Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilisan Remo, Mrs. Elizabeth Uruakpa, 66 has been abducted.
Gunmen are said to have carried out the abduction. The incident occurred around 7pm when the gunmen ambushed her at the entrance of her house behind the new Ilisan market.
A resident of the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “The woman was coming back from the church in the evening 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. They dragged her down from her vehicle, put her in their red Toyota car, and sped away. It was really like thunder lightning, and such a thing had never happened before in our neighborhood. It is so strange and scary.”
The university’s Director of Communication and Marketing, Dr. Joshua Suleiman, confirmed the incident, saying, “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.”
Efforts to get the reaction of the Ogun State Police Command spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, were futile as calls put to her mobile number were unreachable, and messages sent to her lines were yet to be replied to as of the time of filing this report.
