The Benue State Police Command has given more details regarding the abduction of twenty medical students from the University of Jos.

The medical students were reported to have been kidnapped along the notorious Otukpo/Otukpa/Enugu road on Thursday evening on their way to attend the annual convention of the Federation of Catholic Medical and Dental Students, FECAMDS, in Enugu.
