 OTUKPO KIDNAPPING: POLICE RESCUE ALL ABDUCTED BENUE LINKS PASSENGERS, INCLUDING STUDENTS, ARREST SUSPECTS


The Nigeria Police Force has achieved a major operational breakthrough with the rescue of all victims abducted in the Otukpo kidnapping incident involving passengers of a Benue Links bus on 15 April 2026.


Acting on credible intelligence, operatives of the Benue State Police Command launched coordinated clearance operations across the Amla Forest corridor and adjoining areas. These efforts led to the safe recovery of the remaining 13 victims, including eight students en route to Otukpo for their UTME examinations. In total, all 18 passengers have now been accounted for. Each rescued individual has undergone medical evaluation, is in stable condition, and will be reunited with their families after debriefing.


In the course of the operation, seven suspects were arrested, three of whom have been positively identified as members of the kidnapping syndicate. Investigations are ongoing to apprehend additional accomplices and dismantle the wider criminal network behind the attack. The suspects are in custody and are being interrogated in accordance with the law.


The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc(+), NPM, commended the professionalism, resilience, and gallantry displayed by the officers and men of the Benue State Command. He has directed the intensification of clearance operations within the Otukpo axis to ensure communities remain safe and secure.


The IGP reassures Nigerians of the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to protecting lives and property nationwide. He affirms that ongoing operations will be sustained to strengthen security and restore public confidence, while urging citizens to support the Police with timely and credible information to enhance collective safety.
