[PHOTO] Gunmen Abduct Babcock University Student From Her Hostel, Demand N5m As Ransom

A student of Babcock University, Justina Anochie, was on Sunday abducted from her hostel by gunmen in the Ilishan Remo area of Ogun State.The gunmen were said to have invaded the hostel located in an isolated area off campus at about 9p.m.

They also attempted to abduct a male student in the same hostel but failed as he reportedly fled. Justina who was a nursing student  wrote her final examination in May and was waiting to complete her clearance before joining her family in Abuja, when the incident occurred.
Her abductors, as gathered, contacted her parents, Monday, and demanded N5 million ransom. They were said to have also ordered the parents to withdraw the case from the police. Pleas by Justina’s mother for them to reduce the ransom failed.

A student in the same hostel said: “No one even knew what happened until they left. We did not hear the noise because our power generating set was on. “But for the male student that ran away, no one would have known what happened. He was with Justina when the uninvited visitors came.”
Police sources at Ogun State Police Command hinted that investigation was still ongoing.
