“We never knew that they were kidnappers. The students had to raise the alarm which attracted youths of the community and after a hot chase, they abandoned the teacher a few kilometers away from the school premises. Her Toyota Camry rear windscreen was destroyed and recovered, but her bag containing mobile phones and other items were taken away by the kidnappers.”
It was gathered that there had been several attempts on the teacher before that fateful day.
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, ASP Edafe Bright, confirmed the incident, saying that the police have mobilized to various areas around the school and the entire Ughelli North Local Government Area to ensure more security.
