Nation in Calabar read, “Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers yesterday
(Wednesday) stormed the premises of the Dean, Professor Emeka Okwueze who was
unavailable at the time of the attack, broke into his house and made away with
his Plasma television and his 24 year old son who was the only one at home.
“The gunmen
who were said to have begun their operation at about 8.15pm also inflicted
injuries on a lecturer in Physics department, Dr. Anthony George and his wife
who were driving in and got caught up in the attack. While Dr. George was shot
on his right hand, his wife sustained bullet injuries on the left knee. Both
are however responding to treatment.
“Though they
made unsuccessful attempts to gain entrance into the stretch of houses
accommodating staff within the wing of buildings, the gunmen however smashed
the mirror and front tyre of a Mercedes Benz vehicle belonging to a Professor
in the College of Medical Sciences, Prof Chucks Ejezie.
