The Inspector General of Police, KAYODE EGBETOKUN has said that a notorious kidnap kingpin was killed, and two gang members arrested with two rifles recovered from them during the operation to rescue the abducted medical students.

The students who are from the University of Maiduguri and the University of Jos were travelling to Enugu for the Federation of Catholic Medical and Dental Students’ annual convention when they were kidnapped on August 15.

Speaking while handing over the students to their vice-chancellors, EGBETOKUN noted that the arrested suspects are in custody.

He added that contrary to speculations, the students were rescued without paying any ransom, while noting that efforts of other security agencies and local vigilantes were instrumental in the rescue of the students and other victims.
