Five abducted students of the Rivers State University (RSU) have been rescued unhurt following a combined operation by the Rivers State Police Command, sister security agencies, and critical support from local community leaders.
The victims—Prince London, Azubuike Kelechukwu, Elizabeth Aniete, Onyebuchi Precious, and London Sampson—were kidnapped around 1 a.m. on December 3 from their isolated residences in Rumuche/Rumuohia, Emohua Local Government Area.
According to the Rivers State Police Command, the rescue operation was carried out in nearby Rumuodogo 2, where the suspects had taken the victims.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the abduction was carried out by suspected cultists, a finding echoed by community leaders who say the attackers were not strangers.
