Staff of the university have recently become targets for kidnappers in Calabar.
The university’s Director of Servicom, Prof. Patrick Egaga, was only a fortnight ago, abducted at his residence in the staff quarters.
His abductors reduced their ransom from the earlier N50 million demanded to N15 million, a demand yet to be met by his family.
Meanwhile, spokesperson of the state Police Command, SP Irene Ugbo, declined comment on the matter as she had not been briefed on the incident.
