Gunmen on Saturday abducted two students of the Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State.
Eyewitnesses told journalists on Sunday the hoodlums stormed Mararaba, the university’s host community, at about 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, shot sporadically into the air before whisking the victims to an unknown destination.
The spokesman of the state police command, Ramhan Nansel, who confirmed the incident, said the command’s anti-kidnapping unit had been deployed to conduct a thorough search for the victims and rescue them unhurt.
The students were kidnapped on Saturday evening in Mararaba but we did not get any report of the incident until today.
