The Kogi State Government has said two of the National Examinations Council candidates abducted during Tuesday’s attack on Government Secondary School, Olowa, in Dekina Local Government Area were writing their examinations at what it described as a “miracle centre.”

The government, however, said it had launched a large-scale multi-agency security operation to rescue the remaining four victims still in captivity.

The operation, ordered by Governor Usman Ododo, is being coordinated by the State Security Adviser, retired Commander Jerry Omodara, with the involvement of all security and intelligence agencies operating in the state.

Those still being held include the Principal of Government Secondary School, Olowa, Elder Daniel Iyanaa; a NECO official, Solomon Audu; a NECO candidate, Dorcas Sunday; and another female candidate identified simply as Dorcas, whose surname has yet to be confirmed.
