Monday, August 11, 2025 - A faculty officer at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, AAUA, Ondo State, Omoniyi Eleyinmi, has been freed nearly one week after he was kidnapped.
Eleyinmi, who serves in the university’s Department of
Education, regained his freedom on Sunday evening.
His release was confirmed by a colleague at the institution,
who expressed gratitude for his safe return.
According to a family source, the abductors released
Eleyinmi after receiving a significant ransom. He was reportedly freed in a
community close to the Ondo State boundary.
“My brother, a ransom was raised and paid to the kidnappers
before they could release him to us,” the source disclosed.
Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Olayinka
Ayanlade, said he could not immediately verify the development but assured that
an update would be provided in due course.
Eleyinmi was abducted last Monday while on his way home to
Supare-Akoko after closing from work.
