A female student of the College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti, was on Friday rescued in a bush by villagers at Ijemo, along Ilawe Road, few minutes after she was kidnapped by three men in Oke-Iyinmi area of Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State capital.

Two of the abductors, who had stripped the girl naked in an apparent bid to rape her, were also apprehended by the villagers, while the third accomplice bolted from the scene.

The whereabouts of a female Igbo youth corps member living in Ilawe who disappeared from the state since last year after a ride on a motorcycle allegedly driven by his kinsman were yet unknown.

From the report monitored on the Broadcasting Service of Ekiti State television, on Sunday by our correspondent, the latest victim had stood by the roadside, on Saturday, waiting to board a vehicle to the motor park.

She was said to have been travelling to Kogi State when the men, who rode on two motorcycles, accosted her to direct them to a location within the city, which she told them was not known to her.
