Professor Johnson Fatokun, The Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Anchor University Lagos, AUL, who was recently abducted in Nasarawa State has regained freedom from his abductors.

A statement on the social media handle of Anchor University confirmed the released.

“To the glory of God, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Anchor University, Professor J.O. Fatokun, has been released,” the Statement read.

WITHIN NIGERIA had earlier reported how Fatokun had gone to drop his children in schools and on his way back he was abducted.

Recall that, Leaders of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, including the General Superintendent, Pastor W. F. Kumuyi all prayed for the quick and safe release of Professor Johnson Fatokun, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Anchor University, Lagos, owned by the church.

According to report, the abductors have demanded N20 million ransom.
