Eight people rescued from a bus abduction in Benue State have been confirmed as candidates for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). They were among passengers on an 18-seater bus that was hijacked on April 15, 2026, while en route to Otukpo for their exams. The victims were held since Wednesday before being freed early Sunday morning.
The release of the students means they may still be able to sit for the UTME, depending on rescheduling by JAMB. Affected candidates should contact JAMB immediately to confirm if alternative examination arrangements will be made.
