Combined security operatives have rescued the remaining 13 passengers abducted on Wednesday night. The state's Commissioner of Police, Ifeanyi Emenari, confirmed the rescue early Sunday morning, stating that the victims would be brought to Makurdi. Gunmen had intercepted a Benue Links transport vehicle, abducting passengers, including young men and women traveling to take the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in Otukpo. Five victims had been rescued previously, leaving 13 in captivity. While the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board denied that any of its candidates were victims, a relative of one of the victims disputed this, stating that many passengers on the bus were indeed traveling for the examination.
