Gunmen Kidnap Babcock University Employee In Ogun

Gunmen believed to be kidnappers have abducted Mrs. Elizabeth Uruakpa, an Assistant Chief Nursing Officer at Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilisan Remo. The 66-year-old was taken on the evening of September 5, 2024, as she was returning from a church service. The assailants ambushed her at the entrance of her residence behind the new Ilisan market, forcibly taking her away in a red Toyota vehicle.

A local source reported, “She was coming back from church around 7 pm when the gunmen struck. I know her well; she’s a senior nurse at Babcock University Teaching Hospital and a member of Winners’ Chapel. They dragged her out of her car and drove off quickly. This is unprecedented and very frightening for our neighborhood.”

Dr. Joshua Suleiman, the Director of Communication and Marketing at Babcock University, confirmed the incident on Friday. He noted, “I became aware of the situation last night. The information is currently being verified, and I will provide a more detailed update once available.”
