The four students of the Nasarawa State University whom gunmen abducted have regained their freedom.
The Nigerian Army confirmed the development to The Vanguard on Thursday in Lafia, saying the students were released after sustained pressure on the kidnappers.
The abducted students include Rahila Hanya, SLT; Josephine Gershon, computer science; Rosemary Samuel, business administration; and Goodness Samuel, geography.
The students were kidnapped from their off-campus residence in the Angwan Kare area of Keffi town at about 10:30 p.m. on Monday and whisked away to an unknown destination.
However, the commanding officer of the Nigerian Army 117 Battalion, Keffi, Lt. Col. Auwalu Inuwa, disclosed to the news outfit that the students were rescued in the surrounding bushes of Angwan Gauta in Keffi LGA after painstaking efforts by the military officers.
The commanding officer noted that the proper medical examinations would be conducted on the rescued students before reuniting with their families.
