Sunday, July 27, 2025 - Six students of the Nigerian Law School have been reportedly abducted by suspected armed bandits while travelling to resume at the school’s Yola campus, Adamawa State
According Sahara reportes, the incident occurred in the late hours
of Saturday, July 26, 2025, along the volatile route between Wukari in Taraba
State and parts of Benue State.
A student of the Yola campus who
identified himself as Johnson said the kidnappers have contacted families of the
victims and are demanding a ransom of N20 million for their release.
The abducted students were on their way back to campus after
completing their mandatory court externship, ahead of the resumption of
academic activities scheduled for Monday, July 28.
Those confirmed to be missing include Rev. Ernest Okafor,
Ogbuka Fabian, Nwamma Philip, Okechukwu Obadiegwu, Obalem Emmanuel, and Obiorah
David.
They were reportedly travelling in a vehicle operated by AJ
Dan Pullo Transport Company, a commercial operator based in Onitsha, Anambra
State.
Authorities have yet to release an official statement.
The Wukari-Benue axis, where the kidnapping is suspected to
have taken place, has long been flagged as a high-risk corridor due to
recurring incidents of abduction and violent crime.
