Relief came to Kogi State on Friday as the four victims rescued from an abduction at an examination centre in Olowa, Dekina Local Government Area, were received by Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo at the Government House in Lokoja.
A video showed the governor welcoming the victims, comprising the school principal, a National Examinations Council official and two students, alongside heads of security agencies in the state.
The victims regained their freedom following a coordinated security operation launched after gunmen attacked the examination centre and abducted them.
According to the Kogi State Government, the rescue mission was carried out by a joint team of the Nigerian Army, the Department of State Services, the Nigeria Police Force, local vigilantes and other security operatives, following Governor Ododo’s directive.
