Five students of Rivers State University (RSU) who were kidnapped from the institution’s Satellite Campus in Emohua earlier this week have been rescued unharmed, the State Police Command confirmed on Thursday.
The students—Prince London, Azubuike Kelechukwu, Elizabeth Aniete, Onyebuchi Precious, and London Sampson—were abducted on Tuesday, an incident that led to the temporary suspension of academic activities at the campus by Vice Chancellor Prof. Isaac Zeb-Obipi.
According to Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, Superintendent Grace Iringe-Koko, the victims were successfully rescued during a joint operation by the Command’s Tactical Teams, other security agencies, and community members at Rumuodogo 2.
“The rescued victims have been taken to the hospital for medical examination,” Iringe-Koko stated. “Intensive efforts are ongoing to track down and apprehend the fleeing abductors, who are believed to be cultists.”
The Police assured the public that all necessary measures are being taken to ensure the safety of students and to bring the suspects to justice.
