Six of the Nigerian Law School who were abducted while travelling from Anambra State to Adamawa have regained freedom.

The Benue Police Command confirmed this in a statement issued on Friday.

The Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Udeme Edet, said the six law students were heading for the Yola Campus of the Nigerian Law School when they ran into the kidnappers along the Benue-Taraba boundary.

“Please be informed that the police have successfully rescued six law students of the Yola campus, who were abducted on July 26, 2025, while traveling from Anambra State to Adamawa State, have been safely released and united with their families this morning, August 1, 2025,” the statement read.

The kidnappers had initially demanded N120 ransom, vowing to kill the captives if their demands were not met.

The high level of insecurity in Benue has been a source of concern,

Last year, 20 medical students en route to University of Jos in Plateau State, were kidnapped along Otukpo-Otukpa-Enugu Road.

They regained freedom after weeks in captivity.

APC has failed woefully in their primary responsibility of securing lives and property of the citizenry.

This party doesn't deserve another chance in governance

Regain freedom after paying huge ransom,what is the job our NPF? to people life and properties, but you can only see them where bribe and corruption strives Nigeria is long gone.The statement police has successfully rescued is a big scam.

nams77:
Were they rescued or ransom was paid?

It is a shame that the FG and security apparatus has failed to nab these criminals. There is no explanation for this. A serious security outfit would have nab these criminals using intelligence or marking the bills used as ransom.

APC is the government at the centre. The president controls all the security forces, and he's an APC man.
I'm sure you know this, and Tinubu knows this too
