Cultists Kidnap Five Students In Rivers State by KillerOfCrackas(op): 10:53am On Dec 03, 2025
Five students were abducted by suspected cultists in the early hours of Monday, in the Rumuche/Rumuohia community of Emohua LGA, Rivers state.

According to Grace Iringe-Koko, spokesperson for the Rivers police command, about five armed men stormed an isolated part of the community around 2:30am, opened fire, and took the students to an unknown location.

“On 2nd December 2025 at about 0230hrs, a group of suspected cultists, numbering about five, attacked an isolated area in Rumuche/Rumuohia community, Emohua Local Government Area,” the statement reads.

“The hoodlums shot and abducted five persons to an unknown destination.”

The spokesperson said the police have launched an investigation and efforts are ongoing to rescue the students.

Olugbenga Adepoju, the commissioner of police, accompanied by other service commanders, visited the scene for an on-the-spot assessment shortly after the report was received.

The CP has directed the area commander, all tactical units, and the joint task force to intensify efforts to rescue the victims safely and arrest the perpetrators.
He said every suspect connected to the crime will be apprehended and made to face the full weight of the law, adding that residents should remain calm and volunteer credible information that could assist the ongoing investigation.

Meanwhile, sources close to the matter said the abducted students are from the Emohua satellite campus of the Rivers State University (RSU).

Last week, students living off-campus staged protests over repeated cult attacks, urging the school management to relocate them to the main campus in Port Harcourt for their safety.

Effect of a resource dependent economy, as decided by past and present leaders and common nigerians

The thing is, when you run an economy based on awa oyel, those who lose out, some of them will carry guns to get their share...hence cultism and armed robbery, and even secessionists in the south.

Kidnapping has become lucrative business in Nigeria now so that everybody is getting interested in it because the government is lackadaisical in its core duties to the populace.
I wasn't surprised when one bandit threatened to kidnap even Mr President someday - that's called "see finish". This government needs to be proactive as urgently as possible in dealing with insecurity in this country.

There is nothing like Christian terrorists, no one terrorize people in the name of Christ. Try as much to paint it like Islamic terrorists who terrorize in the name of islam.
