A lecturer in the department of management sciences of the University of Port Harcourt, Dr Iba Lebari, have been reportedly kidnapped in the state on his way home after work.
The Uniport lecturer was said to have been kidnapped by unknown gunmen at the close of work.

The management of the University of Port Harcourt in a reaction condemned the kidnap of Lebari and called for his unconditional release.
In a statement issued by the deputy registrar on behalf of the institution, Williams Wodi said the kidnapped lecturer had some medical issues that needed regular medication and should not be in solitary confinement.
