The lecturer was seized along the Ugwuogo-Opi-Nsukka road in Anambra State.

At the University of Nigeria, Prof. Ujam is the Dean of the School of General Studies.

As at press time, there was no information of his whereabouts.
“The armed men took the Professor at gun point. His family has been contacted by the kidnappers. No one is sure where exactly the Professor may have been taken to,” the source told our correspondent.
