Babcock University spokesperson Joshua Suleiman confirmed the abduction, noting that it had been reported within the university’s internal communication channels but added that detailed information was still pending.

“On 5 September, a distress call was received that Elizabeth Uruakpa was abducted by armed men in a red Toyota Camry after blocking her Honda CRV. Updates later,”
Odutola wrote.
This incident comes months after another violent attack linked to the university. In April, Professor Yinka Olomojobi, a lecturer at Babcock University, was shot dead during an attempted abduction at an event center in Iperu Remo, where two other individuals were also kidnapped.
