Armed bandits on Saturday evening again abducted two students of the Federal University Gusau in Zamfara State.
According to an eyewitness account, the two students were male and female, who were abducted in their off-campus hostel around 9 pm on Saturday in the Sabon Garin Damba area of Gusau, the state capital.
Residents said the bandits invaded the community a few minutes after 8 pm and shot sporadically in order to scare residents.
Several gunshots were fired by security personnel who tried to repel the aggressors but the bandits took away two students.
Another resident who pleaded anonymity for security reasons told News Point Nigeria that combined security forces of police and soldiers are currently on the trail of the bandits.
Efforts to speak with the spokesperson for the state police command, ASP Yazid Abubakar, were not successful as he did not take calls put across to his line.
