Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force, Benue State command, have rescued six Nigerian Law School students abducted while travelling from Anambra State to Adamawa.
In a statement released on Friday, the Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Udeme Edet, said the students were heading to the Yola Campus of the Nigerian Law School when they were intercepted by armed kidnappers along the Benue-Taraba boundary.
The kidnappers are said to have earlier demanded a ransom of ₦120 million, threatening to kill the captives if the amount was not paid. It is unclear if any ransom was paid before the students’ release.
