The Zamfara Police Command reassured the general public on Sunday that security operatives were making efforts to rescue the remaining kidnapped students of the Federal University of Gusau from the kidnappers.
This was contained in a statement in Gusau by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Yazid Abubakar.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that scores of students, comprising males and females, of the Federal University of Gusau were kidnapped by bandits recently.
According to the statement, “On September 22nd, at about 02:50 hrs, suspected bandits with sophisticated weapons invaded rented students’ hostels in the Sabongida community near the university.
“Unfortunately, the bandits kidnapped an unspecified number of students at an unknown destination.
“The search and rescue operations by the command, in collaboration with the security operatives, yielded the positive result of rescuing seven out of the kidnapped victims.
“The rescued victims have been reunited with the management of the university.”
The PPRO appealed to the general public to remain calm, as “the command, in collaboration with other security agencies, is making efforts to rescue the remaining students from the kidnappers”.
Meanwhile, the state police commissioner, Muhammad Dalijan, had visited the scene of the incident and put some measures in place to avoid the reoccurrence of the incident.
