CALABAR—GUNMEN, Tuesday night, abducted Mr. Godwin Anyating, Chief Librarian of Federal College of Education, FCE, Obudu, and took him to an unknown destination.

His wife, Felicia, told Vanguard that seven gunmen invaded their home at about 2a.m., Tuesday night, robbed the family, dragged her husband into the car and drove away.

She said it took the hoodlums about an hour to cut the window’s burglary proof to gain access into the house located at Bebuabong Village, along Ogoja Road, to kidnap the librarian.

“Four of them entered the house, while three of them waited outside and I am suspecting they are kidnappers and not hired killers because they would have killed him if they wanted to,” she said.

Mrs Anyating, who also teaches at FCE, said she gave the hoodlums money, phones and other valuables in the house before they took her husband away.

She said: “I gave them money and I do not know if that was not enough; I am appealing to them to release my husband.”

She said the matter had been reported to the police and the Department of State Services, DSS, adding that the kidnappers were yet to get in contact with her or the school.

Efforts to speak with spokesman of Cross Rivers State Police Command, Mr. Hogan Bassey, did not yield any result as several calls to his mobile phone were not answered.
