Six students of the Nigerian Law School have been reportedly abducted by suspected armed bandits while travelling to resume at the school’s Yola campus, Adamawa State.
Â
The incident is believed to have occurred in the late hours of Saturday, July 26, 2025, along the volatile route between Wukari in Taraba State and parts of Benue State.
Â
According to a fellow student of the Yola campus who identified himself as Johnson, the kidnappers have contacted families of the victims and are demanding a ransom of N20 million for their release.
Â
The abducted students were on their way back to campus after completing their mandatory court externship, ahead of the resumption of academic activities scheduled for Monday, July 28.
Â
Those confirmed to be missing include Rev. Ernest Okafor, Ogbuka Fabian, Nwamma Philip, Okechukwu Obadiegwu, Obalem Emmanuel, and Obiorah David.
Â
They were reportedly travelling in a vehicle operated by AJ Dan Pullo Transport Company, a commercial operator based in Onitsha, Anambra State.
Authorities have yet to release an official statement.
The Wukari-Benue axis, where the kidnapping is suspected to have taken place, has long been flagged as a high-risk corridor due to recurring incidents of abduction and violent crime.
