Seven days after the abduction of 20 medical students travelling within the Benue State axis of the Makurdi – Enugu highway, they are still being held captive by their kidnappers.
Although a Tactical Team from the Inspector General of Police led by the State Commissioner of Police, Steve Yabanet is said to be mounting a manhunt of the abductors, the operation is yet to yield any successful result in the release of the students.
Father of one of the abducted students, Kwaghaondo Fagar who is a retiree, makes an appeal to the abductors to release the students unharmed, stating that the affected families can hardly raise the N50 million ransom being demanded.
