Eight of the victims rescued from last Wednesday’s Benue Links bus abduction have been identified as candidates of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
The victims were among passengers on an 18-seater bus kidnapped on April 15, 2026 while traveling to Otukpo to sit for their exams.
They regained their freedom early Sunday after spending about three days in captivity.
The rescued individuals, among them three girls, were brought to the Benue State Government House in Makurdi by the State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ifeanyi Emenari, accompanied by their parents and guardians, for official reception by Governor Hyacinth Alia.
