Several bandits wielding dangerous weapons have reportedly attacked Sabon Gida village in Zamfara state, at about 3am today, September 22, 2023, abducting several people.
It was gathered that over twenty four students from the Federal University Gusau, mostly female students, were abducted.
The assailants gained access to three separate hostels of the students’ off-campus residences in the village and kidnapped all the students inside.
An eyewitness said, “Many of the kidnapped students were females, while other students were able to escape to the bush”.
He said, “When they arrived the village, they went straight to the students [off campuses] and started shooting sporadically”.
“They later broke into the campuses and brought a number of students who are mostly females”.
It was gathered that soldiers have been able to rescue six of the abducted students.
