It is understood that the students were returning home for the Christmas holidays on Friday when they were kidnapped.
According to Punch, Muri Agboola, Ikare Area commander of Ondo state police, confirmed the incident.
Agboola said he has deployed his men to comb the forests along the Akunnu-Ajowa Akoko road to rescue the abducted students.
Efforts by NEWS POINT NIGERIA to reach Funmi Odunlami, the state police spokesperson, on the matter proved abortive.
