The Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) community has been thrown into a state of confusion as some unknown gunmen have kidnapped one of the lecturers, Dr. Comfort Adokwe.

It was gathered that Adokwe, a lecturer in the Faculty of Administration at the university and a Deputy Director, Gender Studies, of the school, was abducted on Sunday night by the gunmen from her residence in Angwan Jaba in Keffi.

The Chairman of the Community Development Association, Comrade Ali Sule, who confirmed the development, said the gunmen invaded the lecturer’s compound late at night and whisked her to an unknown destination.

He said the kidnappers shot sporadically into the air severally before making away with the lecturer.

He told our reporter, “It’s true, our beloved sister, Dr Comfort Adokwe, was kidnapped last night by unknown gunmen at her Residence at Angwan Jaba here in Keffi.

“We pray that God keeps her safe, secure, and protected and returns her safely to us. We are calling on security agencies to move into action and bring her back safely.”

However, when contacted, the state Police Public Relation Officer, PPRO, DSP Ramhan Nansel, said he was not aware of the incident as he had not been briefed.

“I have not been briefed,” Nansel said.

The incident came barely one week after about four students of the university were kidnapped from their hostel near Angwan Kare.
