Four Nasarawa University students are abducted by gunmen.

Four students from Nasarawa State University in Keffi have been kidnapped by gunmen.

According to reports, the students were abducted on Tuesday when armed men broke into their lodge in the Keffi Local Government Area’s Angwan Kare village.

In a phone call with Channels Television on Tuesday, DSP Ramhan Nansel, the police’s public relations officer, confirmed the kidnapping.

He claimed that early on Tuesday, the State Police Command received a distress call reporting a shooting at a home in Angwan Kare.

“The command is aware of the kidnapping at about 12:55 am as a distress was received that a house located at Angwan Kaare, Keffi, was invaded by unidentified armed men,” Nansel added.

After searching the area, attempts to track down the perpetrators proved fruitless, but a manhunt has been started to find the students, the police official said.

“The police and the military worked together to respond as necessary and searched the area, but in vain.

In order to save the victims unharmed, “the Commissioner of Police has ordered a manhunt for the culprits,” Nansel stated.

Rahila Hanya from Science Laboratory Technology, Josephine Gersho from Computer Science, Rosemary Samuel from Business Administration, and Goodness Samuel from Geography departments are all first-year students at the institution who were the victims.
