 Vice Chancellor of Tarrabah State University, Professor Vincent Tenembe, has announced the release of the abducted former Dean of Students Affairs of the Institution after his family settled his abductors. Umar Bouba was abducted at the school's staff quarters Jalingo on Sunday by suspected gunmen who overpowered the school's security network. He said the institution's management was not in contact with the abductors but it is aware that ransom was paid to secure his release. We did not pay ransom but I am aware that the the bandits were negotiating with his family and I'm not in position to say what they negotiated with the family and I want to let you know that the the the kidnappers never contacted the authorities of the university or any official or any management staff but I'm aware that they were talking with the family and I cannot say what they paid or what amount of ransom.
