Unspecified number of students of the Federal University of Gusau were abducted in the early hours of Friday.
The armed bandits in large numbers invaded the Sabon-Gida community of the Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
A resident of Sabon-Gida identified as Nazeer Sabon-Gida told Channels Television that the gunmen invaded the community around 3 am and started shooting indiscriminately.
According to him, three students’ hostels were attacked and all the students in the hostels were taken away by the bandits.
They entered the town around 3 am and started shooting indiscriminately.
We have yet to confirm the number of students kidnapped because the bandits entered three hostels and kidnapped all the students there. It is difficult to ascertain their numbers now.
Efforts to reach the school authorities were not successful as the spokesperson for the school, Umar Usman, did not respond to several phone calls to him by our correspondent.
Similarly, the police command in the state has yet to comment on the latest attack.
