He said that the institution’s staff were attacked and kidnapped around 4:30pm while leaving the college premises after close of work on Tuesday.
Oyekanmi said the gunmen blocked the Esa-Oke Road leading to the college campus, stopped the staff vehicles plying the route and abducted them.
“One of the staff was shot and killed when he did not stop and was trying to escape in his car,” he said
