Bandits Hit Benue, Abduct Federal University Of Agriculture Students On Campus

Gunmen, suspected to be bandits, today abducted some students of the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi (FUAM) in Benue State.

The school authorities confirmed the incident, saying an unspecified number of students were taken away at gunpoint on Sunday night.

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

The development comes less than a week after students of Greenfield University, Kaduna, were also abducted on campus.

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