Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have arrested three more suspects linked to the kidnapping of the Dean of Agriculture at Nasarawa State University, Professor Samuel Avengbe Okunsebor.
The suspects were arrested on Friday night at a local brothel along the Mararraban Akunza axis of the Lafia–Makurdi highway.
A security source disclosed that the three suspects were members of the kidnapping gang responsible for the abduction of the university don.
Professor Okunsebor was kidnapped by gunmen in the early hours of Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at Mile Uku, a border community between Lafia and Nasarawa-Eggon Local Government Areas of Nasarawa State.
He was rescued two days later by DSS operatives. Two suspects, including a woman, were also arrested in connection with the incident at the time.
