The two abducted students of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) have regained their freedom. The victims, who are law students at the institution, were kidnapped on campus on the morning of July 1. They were released on Sunday in the creeks of Calabar South. The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Florence Obi, who confirmed the development to journalists in Calabar, said the students’ release by the kidnappers had brought much relief to the university community. She said: “I am very happy that the students were released safely. They have been traumatised and psychologically battered, but I am happy that they are back alive. “It has been a traumatic period for their colleagues, family, and the university community. “It is a sad situation because kidnapping of students is further bringing down the educational sector in the country. The kidnapping of students is not good for the educational system. “They just came back from the hospital where they underwent a medical test.
