Two suspects in custody as DSS rescues kidnapped Professor

Professor Samuel Okunsebor, Dean, Faculty of Agriculture, of Nassarawa State University, Keffi, has been rescued by Department of State Services (DSS).

The kidnapped dean was rescued around 3pm on Friday by DSS operatives from the kidnappers who had taken him away from Mile Uku, a community located at the boundary between Lafia and Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Areas of the state, around midnight of Wednesday.

After the rescue of the don, he was handed over to his family members by DSS.

The Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Kitso Ngbargu was present during the short event.

He was thereafter driven to the Federal University of Lafia Teaching Hospital for medical examination.
A top official of the university said the institution was “greatly indebted to the DSS for working round the clock to ensure the timely rescue of our amiable dean of the faculty of agriculture.”

He added,”we understand that the DSS have in their custody two of the persons behind the kidnap of our dear Professor. Given how the DSS has been meticulously prosecuting suspects in courts, we have little doubt that both suspects will soon have their day in court.”
