Four Freed in Kogi Exam Center Rescue | Nigeria News

Four hostages—including a school principal, an NEC official, and two students—taken in a brazen attack on an unapproved exam center in Kogi State have been rescued in a dramatic joint security operation. The group was welcomed at Government House in Lokoja by Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, alongside top security chiefs. The swift rescue, involving the army, DSS, police, and local vigilantes, followed the governor’s immediate orders. The NEC has firmly denied any notion that the school was a “miracle center,” confirming it’s a legitimate public institution with a long-standing exam history. The freed hostages are now receiving care, as authorities vow to ensure their full recovery while underscoring their resolve to combat regional insecurity.
