Gunmen have kidnapped an unspecified number of students along the East-West road in Ughelli, Delta State. The vehicle's driver managed to escape unharmed.

According to Edafe Bright, the spokesperson of the Delta State Police Command, the victims were possibly students returning from Calabar, Cross River State, on Friday night. They were abducted from the minibus they were traveling in. So far, no ransom demand has been made.

However, the police are actively searching for both the abductors and the students. Bright tweeted, "The Command is aware of this ugly incident, and we are doing all it takes to ensure that they are rescued unhurt."This abduction follows another incident where students from the University of Calabar (UNICAL) were kidnapped in Cross River.

The three students identified as Ojang Precious Ebejin, Ugwu Chukwuemeka, and Damilola Dickson were reportedly taken. Ojang is a 200-level student of Medicine and Surgery, Ugwu is a 300-level student of Genetics and Biotechnology, and Damilola is a final year student in the same department.
