Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has dispatched additional

detectives to Benue State to aid in the rescue of the abducted medical

students.

This is coming after twenty medical students from the University of

Maiduguri and the University of Jos, travelling to Enugu, were kidnapped

along the Otukpo-Otukpa-Enugu road and the students were en route to the

Federation of Catholic Medical and Dental Students’ annual convention in

Enugu when they were taken.

Egbetokun ordered the deployment of tactical operatives and assets,

including helicopters, drones, and tactical vehicles, to ensure the swift rescue

of the kidnapped students.

A statement on Sunday, Force spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi said, based on

the arrival of more detectives in the state, there was need for public support

to rescuing the kidnapped medical students in Benue state unharmed.

Adejobi also praised citizens who have been discreetly providing vital

information to the police, urging those sharing sensitive details on social

media to refrain from doing so.
