Gunmen suspected to be Kidnappers have killed a professor of law at Babcock University, Ilishan, Ogun, Yinka Olomojobi.
The attackers also abduct two others in the Iperu area of the state as they shoot sporadically.
Olomojobi was said to have been shot dead on Friday for allegedly refusing to be taken away by the Kidnappers.
While he was shot dead, two residents were abducted and taken to an unknown destination.
The spokesperson of the Ogun State Police Command, Omolola Odutola confirmed the ugly development
The PPRO said one person had been arrested in connection with the incident.
She said: “A two-week-old security man was arrested based on reasonable suspicion as police commence discreet investigation.”
“A report from the Iperu Division indicates that a kidnapping and murder incident occurred on the 19th of April, 2024, at about 9:20 pm.”
“A suspicious coincidence led the police to arrest one Awada Ishaya of Plateau state who was employed two weeks ago when the event centre was launched as a security man for further interrogation,” Odutola said.
“The lecturer was taken to Babcock University Teaching Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
“Efforts are underway to apprehend the culprits and rescue the kidnapped victims. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.”
Eyewitnesses said eight men dressed in black, and armed with guns emerged from an unknown place, went into the relaxing lounge, and opened fire indiscriminately.
They later identified Prof Olowojobi as the victim shot in the chest for resisting to go away with the hoodlum. At the same time, a manager of a car stand known as Dare, and one other yet-to-be-identified person, were said to have been taken captive by the gunmen.
