The police did not disclose whether any ransom was paid, but their statement reaffirmed their dedication to combating criminal activities in the region and maintaining law and order. The successful rescue mission is being hailed as a major breakthrough, especially considering the growing number of similar abductions reported in recent months.
Families of the rescued students expressed relief and gratitude to the police for their swift response and efforts in securing the safe return of their loved ones.
Security experts continue to call for increased patrols and surveillance along the Wukari-Benue corridor to prevent further occurrences and ensure safer travel for citizens across Nigeria.
