Ichor Smart, accused of having renounced the kidnapping of the wife of the President of the Union of Academic Universities of the Institution (Asuu), Susan Anyagh, denied the accusations.

Smart, which was recently released after spending over a month in detention of the police, made this known in a statement on Friday 28 February 2025.

He stated that the accusations kidnapped against him by the wife of the President of the Asuu were manufactured to silence him for asking his husband to explain the funds destined for the families of conferences deceased Jostum.

Smart said: “A meeting of the Asuu Jostum branch was scheduled for December 5, 2024, on a Thursday morning, so I published the samples dates, the control numbers, the amounts and names of the serial accredited community that went on.

“In the meeting, dr. Anyagh announced that he would have finished the publication of Asuu problems on university platforms other than Asuu. On December 7, 2024, one day after being presumably present on the scene of the kidnapping of the wife of the presidents who calls the kidnappers to kill her.

“What a film that has not been recited. Walk on the streets and meet most of the families of our deceased colleagues and remember our obligations towards them as people and our dissatisfied financial obligations as a union.

“If we choose to remain silent in the face of this financial theft and senseless swallowing in Naira and Kobo by Anyagh and Co, then humanity in us and our collective consciousness is dead and must be questioned.”

Smart noted that Anyagh’s accusation of seeing him on the scene of his kidnapping was “hallucinated manufacture, a falsehood that he made carefully in league with his husband” and some other colleagues at the university to uninforce the public and obscure his image earned hard.

Smart said he had commitments in his village in Ikurav Tiev 2 in Katsina-Ala and was not close to Makurdi where the accident had been said.

“I could not duplicate myself to be on the scene of the imaginary kidnapping of Mrs. Anyagh and in the same way to be at the burial in my village on the same day, despite the distance from Makurdi to my village,” said the teacher.

However, he invited Benue’s State Police Command to issue the report of his investigations to the public.

The spokesman for the command, Catherine Anne, has yet to talk about development at the time of the press.
