The Police in Rivers last Saturday confirmed the release of Vice Chancellor of Ignatius Ajuru University, Port Harcourt, Prof. Rosemond Osagholu,
Osagholu was abducted by gunmen on June 20 as she was leaving the campus of the Rivers State Government-owned institution.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Ahmad Muhammad, told newsmen in Port Harcourt that Osagholu was released on June 26.
The police spokesman did not, however, disclose the exact location of her release or if any ransom was paid for her freedom.
“I can confirm to you that the Vice Chancellor of the Ignatius Ajuru University has been released. She is in good health and has been reunited with her family’’, Muhammad said.
He did not also say if any arrest had been made.
The abduction of the vice chancellor had  thrown  the academic community into a state of shock.
Unions, associations and groups in the academic community mounted pressure on the police to rescue her. But on hearing the release of the VC on Friday the entire university community went agog in jubilation, thanking God for His intervention.
