The Nigerian Army has handed over eight rescued students of Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTECH) to the Kogi State Government following their abduction by kidnappers on May 9, 2024.
The students were rescued in a coordinated search and rescue operation by the Nigerian Army, Nigeria Police Force, and other security agencies in the dense forest near Oro Ago Village in Kwara State.
Governor Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo received the students at the Headquarters Nigerian Army Conference Room, expressing profound gratitude to the security forces for their dedication and sacrifice.
The Chief of Policy and Plans, Major General Abdulsalam Ibrahim, assured the Governor that the security forces remain committed to securing lives and property and are intensifying efforts to track down the kidnappers and bring them to justice.
