Two kidnapped students of Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, Mr Divine Omajuwa and Miss Hamza Hussiena Jennifer, have regained freedom.
The duo from the departments of Geology and Pharmacology were abducted last Sunday morning along Oria, a community with less than 15 minutes drive to the university community.
The gunmen, however, killed a student of the Department of Medical Biochemistry, Abraka, Stephen Odje, with whom the duo were travelling to school in the same vehicle.
The Student Union Government (SUG) of the institution had, on Tuesday, issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the police and other security agents to rescue the abducted students or brace for students’ unrest in the state.
But a student source, on Wednesday morning, told our reporter that the abducted students had been released, unhurt.
“The SUG wrote a letter to the police yesterday giving them 24 hours to work on the release of the abducted students; so with prayers, the kidnappers called and police went to pick them up (location unknown) around 12:00 midnight.
“No money was given to the kidnappers and the students are in police custody as of this morning,” the source noted.
Confirming the development to our reporter, on Wednesday afternoon, acting Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bright Edafe, who couldn’t ascertain if ransom was paid before their release, said the students were in good health.
“They have been released and they are okay. As for ransom, I can’t confirm for now,” Edafe disclosed.
