Gunmen suspected to be bandits have again kidnapped an unspecified number of students of the Federal University of Gusau in the early hours of Friday.
The criminals allegedly attacked the Sabon-Gida community located within the Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State, where many students from the university reside off-campus.
Muhammad Nata’ala, a resident of Sabon-Gida, stated that the gunmen entered the community at approximately 3am and fired their weapons indiscriminately.
According to Nata’ala, the bandits targeted three student hostels and abducted all the students present.
This incident follows a protest held by students of the same university in June 2023, decrying the frequent abductions that have occurred in Sabon-Gida and Damba.
All efforts to reach the school management to comment on the issue proved abortive as the information officer of the institution Umar Usman, did not respond to phone calls.
