LAGOS—After six harrowing days in the custody of
kidnappers, three abducted students of Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary,
Ikorodu, Lagos, yesterday, breathed the air of freedom. The girls were rescued
in Imota, another town on the outskirt of Ikorodu, after intricate police moves
that started with the arrest of one of the suspects, last Friday.
The girls- Timilehin Olusa, Tofunmi Popo and
Deborah Akinayo, were abducted last Monday in their school, an act that
outraged the nation. The news of their release provoked spontaneous jubilation
in their school when Vanguard visited, yesterday.

Though they were not publicly
presented after their rescue, Vanguard gathered that the girls were not
molested by the kidnappers. To ascertain their health status, police
authorities reportedly took them to an undisclosed hospital for medical
examination after their rescue. However, a suspected member of the gang that
abducted the girls and two other accomplices have been arrested by security
agents. Eleven other suspected members of the 12-man gang were said to be at
large and police are still on their trail.
