Two students of Glory Land Group of Schools in Edo State were kidnapped on Tuesday on Igarra-Auchi Road, near Ikpeshi, in the Akoko Edo Local Government Area of the state.

UGAMATV gathered that the vehicle in which the students were travelling with some adults was intercepted at gunpoint, as the abductors dragged the students from the vehicle into the bush.

The school authority or the students’ parents had yet to be contacted by the kidnappers as of press time.
