Return Home Safe Dr. Hope Eghagha

DR. HOPE EGHAGHA-DELTA STATE COMMISSIONER FOR HIGHER EDUCATION AND FORMER UNILAG LECTURER.



I received some sad news yesterday about the kidnap of a good man I have met and interacted with. I am dedicating this post to his safe return home.

Delta state commissioner for Higher Education and a former lecturer at UNILAG-The University of Lagos,  Nigeria, Dr Hope Eghagha, was kidnapped Sunday morning along the Agbor/Abraka Rd in Delta State by unknown gunmen. The gunmen opened fire on his vehicle killing his orderly and injuring his driver. Dr Eghagha was taken away by the gunmen and they've not made any contact with his family or the Delta State government.

I am praying that he is unhurt wherever he is right now and prevailing on the kidnappers to release him.
Dr. Hope is such a jolly good fellow. He headed my PALF-Pan-African Literary Forum class made up of poets from South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Denmark, The United States... in 2007/2008 and readily shared with us his knowledge.

Dr. Hope, Please return home safely and swiftly.
