The abductors of six people at the University of Abuja staff quarters have demanded N50million ransom from their families.

The demand for ransom came amidst conflicting reports on social media about the status of that kidnap.

While some said they have been released, the school authority said it was yet to be contacted on the demand for ransom and their release.

TVC crew made attempts to get to the staff quarters and the apartment of the kidnapped but they were barred by school security men.

An economic Professor Obansa Joseph, Prof. Bassey Ubom and Sambo Mohammed are some of those kidnapped from the institution in the early hours of Tuesday.

Analysis: Buhari’s Dot-In-a-Circle and Makinde’s AK-47 – By Festus Adefayo

Was it better that President Muhammadu Buhari remained unapologetically deaf to all entreaties to address Nigerians or open a window into his mind and reveal a cesspit of foul-smelling hate? Peradventure there were still nationalistic remnants among his coterie of admirers, after last Thursday’s interview the president granted Arise TV, they would be at the crossroads. Their dilemma may jolly well be addressed by a famous Maurice Switzer quote whose authorship had before now been a subject of controversies. Was it authored by Abraham Lincoln or celebrated humourist, Mark Twain? Anyway, Switzer, in a book written in 1907, had said, which I tinker with for the purpose of this discussion, that, “It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought an ethnic bigot (inflection mine), than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”
