The families of the six freed abductees of the University of Abuja, taken from their home at Giri Gwagwalada official residence on Tuesday would have to wait for a while before uniting with them, authorities of the institution have said.
Vice-Chancellor of the University of Abuja Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah said the three lecturers of the University and the three children, who were abducted at the university’s staff quarters would not go home yet, because they needed to undergo medical checks to ensure they are “sound and strong.”
The two professors, a senior lecturer and three of their family members, who were involved in the saga, were being remembered in prayers, according to the VC in a terse statement posted on the official Facebook page of the University on Friday morning.
Commending the security agencies as well as the Safety Unit and security outfit of the University for the return of the kidnapped workers, he urged Nigerians to join the institution in thanking God for the safe return of the abductees.
The VC said: “Our prayers have been accepted. Please join me in thanking God Almighty. I will provide you more details later, just to let you know that our UofA family is a happier family today with the resolution of this callous and wicked kidnap of our people.
