A 200-level female student of library and information science of the Federal University Lokoja (FUL), Janet Kyeme, who was reported to have disappeared on her way to receive lectures has been found in Enugu State.

It was learnt that Miss Kyeme was declared missing by her foster father, school authorities and the security operatives in the first week of March, 2024.

A family source said that they were apprehensive over the manner of her disappearance as her abductors did not call to place a ransom, fueling speculations that she must have been kidnapped for ritual purposes.

City & Crime gathered on Monday that Janet escaped from her abductors in a bush in Enugu metropolis.

One Pastor Joseph, a friend to her foster father, celebrated her escape from death last Sunday with thanksgiving to God.

He said, “Her foster father got a call from Jos, Plateau State, that Janet escaped from her abductors in a bush in a community in Enugu and reunited with her biological family in Jos.

“She escaped from where she was kept in the bush, wandering for hours in the bush until she got to a settlement where a person helped her to call a cousin living in Enugu.

“Her cousin later located the place and rescued her and ferried her to Jos immediately.”

He added that prior to her escape, security operatives tracked her movement to Enugu.
