Kidnapped Kogi Varsity Students Regain Freedom’—-Reports from the Kogi State Government say some of the students abducted from the Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara, Okene, by bandits on Thursday have been rescued.

Although the exact number of rescued students remains undisclosed, the government credits the achievement to the formidable display of firepower by security operatives and local vigilantes against the kidnappers.

According to a statement released on Sunday by Kingsley Fanwo, the State Commissioner for Information and Communications, the rescue operation involved the collaborative efforts of local hunters and security agents.

Fanwo’s statement emphasized, “Local vigilantes and security agents engaged the kidnappers in a fierce shootout, forcing them to retreat with gunshot wounds. Consequently, the abducted students, along with others in captivity, were safely rescued and promptly taken to medical facilities for necessary care.”

The ongoing efforts to secure the release of the remaining students continue, with security agents diligently scouring the forests.

The incident, which occurred on Thursday night, saw bandits invading the university premises around 9 p.m., disrupting students who were studying for upcoming exams. Kogi State Governor, Usman Ododo, assured the public of the government’s commitment to ensuring the safe return of the abducted students. He vowed to leverage the state’s security apparatus to track down the kidnappers and bring them to justice.

During his visit to the school campus, Governor Ododo expressed concerns about possible insider collaboration in the abduction, citing the suspicious shutdown of CCTV cameras installed throughout the university premises on the day of the attack.

“We installed CCTV cameras in all the classrooms and the entire perimeter of the university campus, yet on the day of the attack, our investigation so far revealed that all the cameras were switched off, and this can only be attributed to sabotage by internal collaborators,” Ododo stated.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 41-year-old ex-convict and Malaysian returnee, Ndubuisi Udatu (alias Richard), for attempting to smuggle 2.7 kilograms of methamphetamine concealed inside two giant music speakers.

“He was found with two new music speakers containing four packages of methamphetamine and a cash exhibit of ₦22,300,” Babafemi said.

“Ndubuisi confessed to returning to Nigeria to resume drug trafficking after serving a jail term in Malaysia for similar offences.”

In a separate joint border operation with Customs officials at the Nigeria–Cameroon border in Mfum, Cross River State, NDLEA operatives arrested Odoh Peter Ikechukwu, 35, for trafficking 8,740 ampoules of assorted opioids, weighing 395kg. Seized substances include: 1,080 ampoules of fentanyl injection, 2,160 ampoules of morphine sulphate injection and 330 ampoules of midazolam injection.

In Kano, operatives on April 11 arrested Aliyu Ibrahim, 27, with 25,600 pills of Tramadol (225mg and 250mg) and 20 ATM cards in the Bachirawa area.

Similarly, in Abuja, 48-year-old Gambo Lawan was arrested at Wazobia Motor Park, Gwagwalada, after NDLEA officers intercepted a consignment containing 8,960 Tramadol pills during a routine check along Gwagwalada Expressway on April 7.

In Niger State, operatives recovered 124 kilograms of skunk (a potent strain of cannabis) from a Lexus vehicle (KTU 54 CU) driven by Ademiluyi Adedapo Collins, 58, on Mokwa–Jebba Road on April 11.

Beyond enforcement, NDLEA intensified its War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) through sensitisation campaigns in schools, communities, and religious institutions. Recent outreach efforts include:

New Era Secondary School, Nteje, Anambra, Promise Land College, Ikotun Egbe, Lagos, Cherryfield College, Jikwoyi, FCT, Federal Polytechnic, Ayede, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, and Nurul Faruq Islamic Academy, Gombi, Adamawa.

NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), commended the agency’s operatives in Adamawa, Cross River, FCT, Kano, and Niger State for their outstanding performance.

“Our officers must not rest on their oars. We must continue to raise the bar in both our offensive operations against drug cartels and our advocacy for drug demand reduction,” Marwa charged.
