FOUR days after her shocking kidnap, Dr. Ime Udotong was freed by her abductors.
Mrs. Udotong’s release was announced on Thursday, a day after her original release, by Mr. Nwachuckwu Anyim, who is the president of the university of Uyo branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
Anyim stated that the female lecturer was released on Wednesday.
On whether any ransom was paid to affect her release, he said: “the family would not want to be dragged into that now.
“What we can say is that we are happy that she has regained her freedom.”
The union chairman expressed gratitude to security agencies in the state for living up to expectation.
Udotong, who is a lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry, was kidnapped by gunmen when she was returning from work.
ASUU on Tuesday carried out a protest and issued 24-hour ultimatum to security agencies in the state to hasten the release of their colleague.
