DELSU lecturer escapes from kidnappers who held him for N10 million ransom
The academician reportedly escaped from his abductors who requested for a 10 million Naira ransom for his release.
This is following an abduction that occurred at his residence on Saturday, February 3, 2018. Anyanwu who was taken from his home around 3 AM was reportedly stolen alongside the son of a colleague, Professor Augustine Nwachukwu.
The pair were driven away from the lecturer's apartment in a Toyota Camry vehicle. Their abductors subsequently made their demands which amounted to a 20 million Naira according to a lecturer who spoke anonymously.
A picture of Anyanwu embracing a woman believed to be a close relation suggested a mood of delight concerning his freedom.
