Lecturer arrested for allegedly kidnapping colleague’s wife

A lecturer at the Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University of Agriculture, Makurdi, identified as Dr Ichor Tersagh, has been arrested by operatives of the Benue State Police Command for allegedly masterminding the abduction of the wife of his colleague, Mrs Susan Anyagh.

This was confirmed in a statement by the command spokesperson, Catherine Anene.

It was gathered that the woman was ambushed and kidnapped by some men along Otukpo Road, Makurdi, last Saturday.

The suspected kidnappers were said to have collected the sum of N1.3 million found in her car, beat her to a coma and abandoned her on a bush path.

Anene stated that the woman was later found along Yandev-Ugbema Road, where she was rushed to Primary Healthcare Clinic, Ameladu, for treatment.

According to the PPRO, the victim, after she regained consciousness, narrated how she saw her husband’s colleague close to where she was abducted and beckoned to him to save her life, but the lecturer turned his back away from her.
