The names of the kidnapped students are Rahila Hanya, a  student of the Science Laboratory Technology Department; Josephine Gershon, a Computer Science student; Rosemary Samuel, a student of Business Administration; and Goodness Samuel, a student of the Geography Department. The students are all freshmen in the university.

When contacted to get the school’s reaction to the incident, the university’s Information and Protocol Officer,  Abraham Ekpo, said that there had not been any official information lodged to the institution concerning the incident.

There have been  rising cases of students abduction by armed men in the North and this is the latest.

On September 22, bandits abducted 30 students of the Federal University, Gusau, in Zamfara State.

In April this year, bandits abducted 10  students in the Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Last week, the Senate summoned the service chiefs over unabated insecurity in the country, including incessant kidnaps of students.
