In the heart of Calabar, the serene ambiance of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) was shattered by a harrowing incident. Three students, striving for knowledge within its halls, fell victim to the cruel machinations of kidnappers.
Under the cloak of darkness on a fateful Thursday night, the tranquility of their hostels was shattered as they were forcibly taken from their sanctuary.
Though the specifics of the abduction remained veiled in silence by the authorities, the grim reality of the situation was undeniable. The police, albeit tight-lipped regarding the exact location of the abduction, acknowledged the distressing occurrence.
SP Irene Ugbe, the voice of law enforcement in the state, addressed the press, affirming the commitment of the command and its allied security agencies to secure the safe return of the abducted trio.
Identified as Ojang Precious Ebejin, a promising 200-level student immersed in the study of Medicine and Surgery; Ugwu Chukwuemeka, navigating the complexities of Genetics and Biotechnology in his third year; and Damilola Dickson, on the precipice of graduation within the same academic realm, their aspirations were abruptly halted by the cruel hand of fate.
