The two members of staff of BOWEN University, Iwo town in Osun State who were kidnapped on Monday February 11, 2019 around 4:30pm on their way home from work along Iwo-Osogbo road have regained their freedom.

It was gathered that the gunmen shot one of the victims and kidnapped two of them while one escaped unhurt. The injured victim is still recuperating in an undisclosed hospital in the state.

As at the time of filing this report, it is unknown whether ransom was paid to secure their release.

However, members of the institution’s community heaved a sigh of relief as they see it as answer to prayers.

Meanwhile, students of the institution were on Wednesday asked to embark on a three week holiday towards the forthcoming elections in Nigeria.
