ABUJA, Oct 11 (NNN-NAN) – At least four students of the Nasarawa State University in central Nigeria were kidnapped by gunmen early yesterday, local police said.
The four victims, all female, were abducted in their hostel, outside the university premises in Keffi, a town 50 km away from the nation’s capital, Abuja, when their hostel was attacked, Ramhan Nansel, spokesman for the police in Nasarawa, told the media.
Police operatives and troops responded swiftly to the attack, by combing the surrounding bushes but could not trace the abductors and the victims, Nansel said.
