Kidnappers Abduct Students, Others, Demand N5m Ransom

Kidnappers are now demanding five million Naira as ransom to release four students of the Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka and five others who were kidnapped along Abraka-Eku road last Sunday.
The names of the students kidnapped are:
Arogbo Harriet Seyifunmi, Azunobi Prosper, Miracle Etavbwobor Robert, who are all 500 level students of the Department of Science Laboratory Technology (SLT), Chemistry and Adegor Aghogho Hapiness, a 500 level student of Electrical Engineering.
The Tide learnt that the students wrote their final examinations recently.
The identities of the other five victims remained sketchy at press time.
Describing the incident as “the alarming abduction of students” of the university, the student union government of the institution in a press statement made available to newsmen, Tuesday, said: “it is very shameful that the state government and security agencies have done nothing to stop the recent attacks on students and citizens, after reports and official complains have been made about the Eku-Abraka expressway.”
The DELSU student union government called on the Delta state government “to wake up, develop and deploy new strategies to deal with insecurity and kidnapping in the State, especially the recent kidnappings along Abraka-Eku expressway.”
According to the statement, the lives of students in the institution are in danger.
However, it urged all students to remain calm and peaceful so as not to endanger the lives of the students abducted.
“However, we urge all delsuites to remain calm and not endanger the lives of the kidnapped persons, as we are doing all we can to rescue the abducted students.
“We are in constant communication with the Police department and State DSS, and we are working together with them to save the abducted students in the shortest time possible,” the statement concluded.
