Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State and the State Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu, have been called to immediately rise up to the occasion to secure the release of six abducted students of Nigerian Law Student in Yola, Adamawa State who are of Anambra State origin.
The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) in a Save Our Soul (SOS) letter to the duo of Soludo and Orutugu, called on both to join forces with their counterparts in Benue and Taraba States to ensure that relevant security agencies secure the release of these intending lawyers.
The six law students, according to a media report, were kidnapped at the forest between Benue and Taraba states boundary, when they were returning from Onitsha to the Yola branch of Law school in Adamawa State.
The bandits were said to have demanded N120million, N20million each for the six law students to be freed.
But in their urgent message to Soludo and Orutugu, which was signed by Nze Emeka Umesgbalasi, Chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT) of Intersociety, they called on them to work with their colleagues in Benue and Taraba states to immediately and unconditionally set these students free to return to their school in Yola for their studies.
The rights body also called on the authorities of Nigerian Law School to wade in the matter so as to pile pressure on the Nigerian security agencies to rescue these young intending lawyers.
Intersociety said Nigeria and Anambra State in particular cannot afford to lose such young brilliant legal minds to agents of darkness in the country.
