A Lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry, University of Port Harcourt, Dr. Reginald Ohiri has been kidnapped by unknown gunmen.

Dr. Ohiri was reportedly kidnapped from his resident in Aluu, UNIPORT host Community Monday night.

The state Police command could not confirm the incident as at the time of filing this report,
Tuesday evening, but the Public Relation Officer of the University, Dr. Williams Wodi said it was true, but said details of the abduction was still sketchy to him as at the time of confirmation.

But sources said his kidnappers have contacted the family members and placed a demand for N2 million to let the University Don off the hooks.

His family members could also not be reached for their reactions.

It was learnt that they intended to maintain sealed lips on the abduction, and probably also didn’t want to involve the security agencies.
