By Gunmen have abducted some students of the Federal University of Agriculture in Makurdi (FUAM) in Benue State.
The development comes barely a week after students of Greenfield University, Kaduna, were also abducted on campus — with three of the students later found dead.
Confirming the Benue incident, the school authorities said an unspecified number of students were taken away at gunpoint on Sunday night.
This was disclosed by the Director of Information, Protocol and Public Relations Unit (IPPR), Mrs Rosemary Waku, on Monday.
“An unconfirmed number of students of FUAM were abducted at gunpoint by unknown persons from the Campus on Sunday 25th April 2021,” the statement said.
“The University has reported the incident to the police and all relevant security agencies.
“The University has not heard anything from the students or their captors since the unfortunate incident took place.”
