Seven more kidnapped students from Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara, have reportedly been freed from a forest where they were being held hostage, according to the Kogi State Police Command.
This was revealed in a statement released on Thursday, May 16, by SP Williams Aya, the command’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO).
Police officials claim that 14 of the 24 students who had been kidnapped had already been freed.
He said that in order to support the ongoing rescue efforts and the state’s offensive against criminal activity, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, had deployed the Air Component of Police Security Apparatus. This apparatus is composed of a monitoring team, a technical intelligence unit (TIU), and a helicopter crew trained in aerial surveillance.
“The diligence and indomitable spirit of all the combined team led to the rescue of additional seven victims, bringing the total to 21.
“We are not resting on our oars, all hands are on deck to ensure all the students are safely rescued and perpetrators brought to deserved justice,” he said.
He added that the Kogi State Government as well as the university community were satisfied with the rescue operations so far. [CONTINUE READING HERE]
