Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted a senior member of staff of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, Omoniyi Eleyinmi. Eleyinmi, a faculty officer in the institution’s Faculty of Education, was abducted on Monday evening alongside another yet-to-be-identified person while returning to his residence in Supare Akoko, Akoko South West Local Council Area of the state, from work. According to sources, the gunmen had, before his arrival, stormed his residence, after which he was seized amid sporadic gunshots while alighting from the commercial motorcycle he rode from Akungba. One of the sources, a member of the institution’s Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), who craved anonymity, stated that Eleyinmi’s wife, who had stepped out to receive her husband, escaped by the whiskers during the gunshots. He said: “One of our SSANU members, Mr. Omoniyi Eleyinmi, was kidnapped at his residence at Supare-Akoko. He had just returned from work when the incident occurred. “Eleyinmi’s wife said her husband was not at home when they (gunmen) initially arrived in commando style. The kidnappers were still at the premises when Eleyinmi returned, only to be seized and taken away immediately.”
