Description

The Delta State Police Command has rescued nine students who were abducted along the East-West Road in Ughelli, Delta State.

The students were abducted on Monday, according to Channels TV.

Confirming the rescue, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Edafe Bright, wrote on his X handle late Monday while quoting Channels TV’s report, “All nine of the victims have regained their freedom pls.”

The students were said to be travelling in a minibus before the abduction.
The PPRO had told Channels TV that the abductees “may have been students who were returning from their school in Calabar, Cross River State on Friday night.”

The bus driver was said to be unhurt, adding that the kidnappers hadn’t demanded ransom while the police operatives had swung into action.

“The command is aware of this ugly incident, and we are doing all it takes to ensure that they are rescued unhurt,” the state PPRO tweeted on his X handle earlier on Monday.
