The Cross River Police Command confirmed on Sunday the abduction of three University of Calabar (Unical) students.
The command’s spokesman, SP Irene Ugbo, said that the students were abducted on Thursday night at one of the university dorms on campus.
Ugbo, who did not provide information about the abduction, did say that the police were working with other authorities to recover the students.
A source who pleaded anonymity gave the names of the students as Ojang Precious Ebejin, a 200-level student of the Department of Medicine and Surgery, Ugwu Chukwuemeka, a 300-level student of the Department of Genetics and Biotechnology, and Damilola Dickson, a final-year student of the same Department.
