Gunmen Storm Enugu College, Abduct Five Students

Gunmen have abducted five students from the Enugu State College of Health Technology in the Oji River Local Government Area.

Naija News learnt that the incident occurred last Thursday evening while the students were leaving the school premises.

Confirming the incident, the Enugu State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, in a statement on Sunday, clarified that reports suggesting several students were abducted were exaggerated and misleading.

He, however, said that three other students remain missing,

He assured that a vigorous operation had been launched to rescue the remaining victims and apprehend the kidnappers.
