Two passengers, including a newlywed bride and a trader, who were travelling in the same bus with the six abducted Nigerian Law school students, are still in captivity, according to David Obiora , one of the law students kidnapped.

The victims were among 11 passengers—including the driver—who left Anambra State en route to Yola, Adamawa State, and Cameroon when gunmen abducted them along the Benue-Taraba border.

While the six Nigerian law school students and four other passengers were freed after reportedly paying a ransom of N10m each, the two remaining victims – a newlywed woman identified as Mmesoma from Umunya and a trader known only as Chimezie from Umudioka – are still being held by the kidnappers.

In an interview, David Obiorah, one of the freed law school students, confirmed that the two victims were still in captivity.

Obiorah said, “The girl just got married this January. She was travelling to meet her husband in Cameroon.

“Chimezie is a trader from Anambra, also heading to Cameroon. We’re appealing to the public and the government not to abandon them. They also deserve to be rescued.”

Obiorah also alleged that the kidnappers still had possession of his mobile phone SIM card, which they refused to return even after the ransom was paid.

He explained, “Everyone who was kept in the hut with us was freed—except Mmesom and Chimezie. Mmesom said she was a student of Anambra State University and that she got married in January.

“She was travelling to reunite with her husband in Cameroon. Chimezie told us he is a trader, also on his way to Cameroon.”
