The police spokesperson in Enugu State, Daniel Ndukwe, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.

Recall that Mr Ujam, a professor, was kidnapped on Sunday evening along Opi-Nsukka- Ugwogo-Nike Road in Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of the state.

The professor is the dean of the School of General Studies of the university.

In the statement later on Tuesday night, the spokesperson announced that the lecturer had escaped from the kidnappers’ den.

Giving details on the lecturer’s escape, Mr Ndukwe said police operatives foiled a separate kidnap attack at about 7:10 p.m. on Monday at Neke-Uno Axis of the Opi-Nsukka- Ugwogo-Nike Road.

“The suspects, after an intense gun duel, fled with gunshot wounds, abandoning one AK-47 rifle, two magazines containing a total of 22 rounds, and a chain of 39 live ammunition,” he said.

“Further operations to hunt down the fleeing suspects the same night led to a lecturer at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, reportedly kidnapped on October 27, 2024, escaping from his abductors’ custody,” the spokesperson said, apparently referring to Mr Ujam.
