The Benue State Commissioner of Police, Ifeanyi Enemari, confirmed that 14 passengers, the majority of whom were Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) candidates, were abducted in Benue State. The kidnapping occurred on a Benue Links commercial bus traveling from Makurdi to Otukpo Local Government Area.
The incident highlights a serious security risk for students travelling to JAMB examinations, potentially disrupting their admission timelines. Given JAMB's pivotal role in university entry, such threats could affect the broader admission cycle across Nigeria. Students and parents should prioritize verified, secure transport options and stay in close contact with local authorities when planning travel for exam-related trips.
