A family source who never wanted his name to be mentioned because he was not authorized to speak to journalist explained that the abductors have contacted the family and the management of Kogi State University.
The source said they called the wife of Dr Alabi and demanded for N20Million.
” The kidnappers ambushed Prof. Alabi with a Mercedez benz car when he was about entering his resident. They wanted to take him away with his car, but due to the bad portion where they forced him to park his car, they could not. The car was stalked. That was why they forced him into their own car.
“When they called the Wife of Dr Alabi, they told her that her husband is with them. And if she wants to see her husband alive, the family should pay the sum of N20Million. Immediately, the wife started crying because the family can’t afford such amount of money” the source said.
All attempt to speak to the acting Public Relations Officer of Kogi State University, Anyigba Tahiti Momoh and the Police Public Relations Officer in Kogi State, DSP William Ovye Aya to confirm the incident proved abortive as at the time of filing this report.
They failed to pick their calls or respond to text messages put across to their phone lines.
