By Suleiman Anyalewechi

Palpable apprehension and anxiety have seized the University of Ibadan community, as the institution’s Students Union Government, SUG, confirmed the abduction of a 300-level female student of the Faculty of Law.

The kidnap of the student simply identified as Tomisin is coming amidst the unresolved  abduction of 46 Orrire Oyo School children and their  teachers by suspected terrorist elements on May, 15 ,2026.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that contact with Tomisin was lost  while she was on her way back from a Scripture Union National Conference held at the Camp of Faith in Okigwe ,Imo State.

Her fate initially was not known, until after her failure to sit for the  semester examinations conducted on Monday and Tuesday ,which some of her travelling colleagues participated in.

In a statement on Friday, the University’s Students Union President, Comrade Temidayo Adeboye, informed that  Tomisin travelled for a religious engagement alongside the Director -General of the Scripture Union Student Fellowship Engr Uwem Cosmos , with eight other members.

This was as he sued for calm among students, assuring that efforts are underway to locating ,and rescuing her.

Comrade Adeboye stated that appropriate machineries have equally been  put in place with a view to ascertaining the actual circumstances surrounding the unfortunate incident.

While debunking claims suggesting that about eight students of the institution were kidnapped, the SUG President disclosed that contact has been established with all relevant authorities, including religious organizations and security agencies for the purpose of effecting the safe release of the victim.

According to him, Tomisin is the only student of the University in the traveling party that is still unaccounted for.
