One of the witnesses, Emmanuel Effiom described the abduction as very brazen and terrifying

He further said: “Most of us even thought they were security personnel. They applied force when one of the guys resisted.

The police quoted an anonymous source to have revealed the names of the abducted students, including Ojang Precious Ebejin, a 200-level student in the Department of Medicine and Surgery, Ugwu Chukwuemeka, a 300-level student in the Department of Genetics and Biotechnology, and Damilola Dickson, a final-year student in the same department

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Prof Florence Banku Obi confirmed the development.

Students are often abducted by violent criminals essentially for ransom purposes from the families of the abductees and the government.

Although the crime is nationwide, it’s more prevalent in the northern part of the country, where several abductions have happened, including very recently in Kaduna.
