Gunmen have reportedly abducted 4 students of the Delta State University, Abraka, along the Abraka-Eku road.

According to Oasis Magazine, five others were also taken hostage by the assailants on Sunday.

The abducted students have been identified as Arogbo Harriet Seyifunmi, Azunobi Prosper, Miracle Etavbwobor Robert, and are all 500 level students of the department of SLT Chemistry and Adegor Aghogho Hapiness, a 500 level student of Electrical Engineering.

OM reports that the students all just recently wrote their final exams.

Meanwhile, the identities of the other five victims are yet to be ascertained as of press time.

A press statement by the Student Union Government of the institution described the incident as shameful.

The statement reads;
“It is very shameful to the state government and Security Agencies that they have done nothing to stop the recent attacks on students and citizens after reports and official complains have been made about the Eku-Abraka expressway.”

The SUG called on the Delta State Government “to wake up, develop and deploy new strategies to deal with insecurity and kidnapping in the State, especially the recent kidnappings along Abraka-Eku expressway,” adding that the lives of students in the institution are in danger.

“However, we urge all delsuites to remain calm and not endanger the lives of the kidnapped persons, as we are doing all we can to rescue the abducted students. We are in constant communication with the Police department and state DSS, and we are working together with them to save the abducted students in the shortest time possible,” the statement added.

Meanwhile, efforts by our correspondent to get comments from the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bright Edafe proved futile as he did not answer his phone.
