Bamiro, the former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan was shot on
Tuesday night in Ibadan by unknown gunmen.
Details about
what happened or why it happened are still sketchy, but the Professor was
reportedly attacked around his Ibadan home and shot in the leg. He was rushed to the University College
Hospital, Ibadan, where he is said to be responding to treatment.
Professor Femi
Bamiro was the 10th vice-chancellor of the University of Ibadan between 2005
and 2010 and a predecessor to the immediate past VC, Isaac Adewole, who is now
the Minister of Health.
The

Gbemisola Oke, and the Registrar, Olujinmi Olukoya, had visited him at the UCH.
He said, “I
can confirm to you that our former vice-chancellor, Prof. Bamiro, was shot on
Tuesday night. There is no detail of the shooting for now. The school’s DVC,
Academic and Registrar have visited him at UCH on behalf of the school. What I
can say further is that we are thankful to God that he is responding to
treatment. We are in touch with the hospital management whom we trust to offer
the best treatment to the former VC.” link
