The State Police Command confirmed the incident to SaharaReporters on Friday morning, sparking concerns for the safety of the abducted students.

Meanwhile, one of the victims has been identified as a House Officer named Dr Louis.

An X account that reports issues in the medical field – @Nigerian_Doctor – who also shared the information, appealed to security agencies for urgent intervention to rescue the students and free the families from the trauma.

It wrote: “A House Officer (Dr Louis) and 20+ Medical and Dental Students have reportedly been kidnapped!

“These students, from University of Maiduguri and University of Jos, were traveling for their Federation of Catholic Medical and Dental Students (FECAMDS) annual convention in Enugu.

“They were reportedly abducted somewhere in Benue State, not far from Otukpo, judging by their last known location.

“We plead for your urgent intervention.”
