Elizabth Uruakpa, a 66-year-old Assistant Chief Nursing Officer at Babcock University Teaching Hospital, was abducted by unknown gunmen on Thursday evening in Ilisan Remo, Ogun State.
The abduction occurred around 7 pm when Uruakpa was returning from an evening church service. The attackers ambushed her at the entrance of her home, located near the new Ilisan market.
According to eyewitnesses, the gunmen forcibly removed Uruakpa from her vehicle and whisked her away in a red Toyota car. The incident caused panic in the neighborhood, prompting residents and business owners to quickly shut their doors in fear.
A local resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described Uruakpa as a senior nursing staff and a member of the Winners’ Chapel. “She was dragged down from her vehicle, put in their red Toyota car, and sped away. It was really like thunder and lightning, and such a thing had never happened before in our neighborhood.”
Babcock University’s Director of Communication and Marketing, Dr. Joshua Suleiman, confirmed the abduction. He stated that the university is actively seeking more information about the incident, and a comprehensive report will be provided as soon as possible.
