The abductors of Prof. Ovaborhene Idamoyibo of the Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka have requested N50 million ransom be paid for his release.
The University don who heads the department of music, was kidnapped on Saturday night in Eku on his way to Abraka from Sapele, Delta State.
The hoodlums have called his wife, Rosemary and informed her to make the money available on or before Friday.
According to an eyewitness, the gunmen trailed the lecturer until they caught up with him, after the tyre of his Toyota Highlander SUV was shot at by his eventual abductors.
He added that they eventually caught up with him at Aganbi Memorial Baptist Church, Eku, where he was taking cover, after ditching his car.
The Professor was then tucked into a getaway car and taken away.
