Five students of Rivers State University, Nkpolu-Oroworukwo, Port Harcourt, who were abducted from their satellite campus in Emuoha Local Government Area of Rivers State on Tuesday, have regained their freedom
Recall that the incident created panic among students of the campus, leading to a protest during which they called on the school management to relocate them to the main campus.
The Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Isaac Zeb-Obipi, while addressing the protesting students on Tuesday, announced the temporary closure of academic activities at the Emuoha campus and directed students residing there to vacate the premises for the meantime.
Confirming the development on Thursday, the spokesperson for the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, said all five abducted students were rescued unhurt following an operation conducted at Rumuodogo 2 by the police tactical teams and other security agencies.
Iringe-Koko, in a statement, noted that the undergraduates — including one female — have been taken to the hospital for medical evaluation, adding that efforts have been intensified to arrest the fleeing kidnappers.
