The Enugu State Police Command has launched a manhunt for the abductors of students of the Enugu State College of Health Technology in Oji River Local Government Area.
It was gathered that the armed
men suspected to be herdsmen invaded the college and abducted five students as
they were leaving the school premises.
A video circulating on social
media on Saturday shows an injured man covered in blood in the aftermath of the
attack.
The spokesperson of the State
Police Command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, who confirmed the incident in a statement on
Sunday, August 18, said that the attack happened on Thursday evening.
He clarified that reports
suggesting that many students were abducted were exaggerated and misleading.
The PPRO stated that the police
received a tip-off about the attack and quickly responded, managing to rescue
two of the abducted students.
However, three other students
remain missing, he added.
He assured that a vigorous
operation had been launched to rescue the remaining victims and apprehend the
kidnappers.
