The nine students who were kidnapped along the East-West Road in Ughelli, Delta State have regained their freedom.
“All nine of the victims have regained their freedom pls,” Delta State Police Command spokesperson, Bright Edafe, confirmed the release of the students in a post on X
The students were said to be travelling in a minibus before the abduction.
Before their release, the police spokesman told Channels Television 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,” Edafe said earlier on Monday.
