Unknown gunmen on Wednesday allegedly abducted the Director of Sports of the University of Port Harcourt, Professor Ken Anukweje, after they reportedly shot his driver to death.
According to reports, the incident happened along Aluu-Airport link road on his way to Port Harcourt International Airport.
Report, however, claimed that the driver who was shot dead, was assigned to him about two weeks ago.
Meanwhile, no group has claimed responsibility for the development yet.
A text message purportedly sent to the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ahmad Muhammad, for comment on the issue was not responded to at press time, Vanguard reports.
Dr. William Wordi, spokesman of the university, said the University heard the story but was waiting for Police to confirm if he was abducted.
Wordi said, “We heard it but we are waiting for the Police to finally confirm if he was kidnapped.
“His official car was actually involved in an incident like that but we have not confirmed.
“His driver was killed in the incident. He may have been kidnapped but we have not completely confirmed if it was a kidnap case,” the spokesman added.
