Gunmen, on Sunday abducted an unspecified number of students of the Federal University of Agriculture in Makurdi (FUAM) in Benue State.

The Director of Information, Protocol and Public Relations Unit (IPPR) of the institution, Mrs Rosemary Waku, made the disclosure in a statement on Monday.

According to her, an unspecified number of students were taken away at gunpoint on Sunday night.

“An unconfirmed number of students of FUAM were abducted at gunpoint by unknown persons from the Campus on Sunday 25th April 2021.

“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,” the statement read.

The latest abduction is coming less than a week after students of Greenfield University, Kaduna, were also kidnapped on campus.

Less than 72 hours after their abduction, three of the students were found dead.
