Gbemudu, who is of the Directorate of General Studies in the institution, was abducted in the early hours of Friday in his residence along NDC Road, Ozoro, and whisked away to an unknown destination.
A source in the polytechnic who spoke on condition of anonymity, told journalists that contact had not been established with the kidnappers.
Contacted, Police Public Relations Officer of the state police command, Celestina Kalu, confirmed the incident, saying efforts were being made to secure his release.
Reacting to the incident, chairman of Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, Comrade Thomas Ojuye, described Gbemudu’s kidnap as painful.
He disclosed that the union had concluded plans to undergo a fasting and prayer session for his release.
“This is the second time a lecturer of this polytechnic has been kidnapped. A situation where lecturers are kidnapped for ransom is condemnable,’’ Ojuye said.
