Five students from the Enugu State College of Health Technology in Oji River were abducted by gunmen while leaving campus on Thursday.
State police spokesperson Daniel Ndukwe confirmed the incident, clarifying that earlier reports of multiple abductions were inaccurate.
While two of the students are said to have been rescued, three remain missing.
Ndukwe stated that the police have initiated extensive operations to locate the victims and apprehend the kidnappers, following directives from Enugu's police commissioner, Kanayo Uzuegbu.
“Contrary to the spurious narrative in the viral video, in the evening hours of August 15, 2024, police operatives at the Oji-River Division of the command received information alleging an act of abduction around the college,” he said.
“They immediately hastened to the scene, rescuing two of the victims allegedly abducted, while three others are yet to be found.
“However, vigorous operations are ongoing to locate and rescue them, as well as apprehend the abductors.
“A preliminary investigation proves that the victims were driving out of the college when the seemingly targeted incident occurred.”![](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,<svg height="400px" width="1000px" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1"/>)
