Eight suspected kidnappers have been arrested and are currently in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) following the successful rescue of abducted students in Oyo State.
Security sources disclosed that several other members of the kidnapping gang were neutralised during the operation, which led to the safe recovery of the victims.
Authorities also clarified that no ransom was paid and no prisoner exchange took place as part of the rescue effort. They further noted that the alleged kingpin whose release had reportedly been demanded by the kidnappers remains in custody and is still facing trial.
Security agencies are expected to provide a comprehensive briefing on the operation and the circumstances surrounding the rescue in the coming days.
