Police Rescue Five Abducted River State University Students

The Rivers State Police Command has announced the successful rescue of five Rivers State University (RSU) students abducted earlier in the week. Police spokesperson SP Grace Iringe-Koko said the operation was carried out Thursday morning in Rumudogo 2, Emuoha LGA, through coordinated efforts involving tactical units, other security agencies, and local community support.

The students — Prince London, Azubuike Kelechukwu, Elizabeth Aniete, Onyebuchi Precious, and London Sampson — were taken from their off-campus residences by suspected cultists but were recovered unharmed. They have since been taken for medical evaluations, while security operatives continue the hunt for the fleeing abductors.

Commissioner of Police Olugbenga Adepoju warned the perpetrators that they would face full legal consequences and urged residents to remain calm and cooperative.

The abduction occurred just days after a similar attack on another off-campus lodge in the area, prompting RSU to temporarily suspend academic activities at the Emuoha campus, as students call for relocation to the main campus over safety concerns.
