Terror On Campus: Gunmen Abduct Four Female University Students In Shocking Raid

Four female students from Joseph Sarwan Tarka University, Makurdi (formerly the Federal University of Agriculture), were abducted on campus by armed men on Tuesday night.

The university’s Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has called for the immediate release of the kidnapped students, attributing the incident to the school’s inadequate security measures.

A student, who requested anonymity, shared that the victims—Emmanuella, Fola, Susan, and Ella—were residing in Zamfara Hostel on campus. They were ambushed by five armed men around 8:30 p.m. while heading to a lecture hall to study.

The news of the abduction sent shockwaves through the campus, sparking protests as students gathered outside their hostels to seek confirmation of the incident and identify the victims.

The source revealed, “We are still in disbelief over the kidnapping of four of our friends last night. It’s simply unacceptable. From what we’ve heard, two of the victims are 300-Level students who live on campus in Zamfara Hostel, located in the North Core area of the university. They were on their way to the lecture halls when they were ambushed by five gunmen.

“The armed men surrounded the students and ordered them to follow. The students attempted to escape by running into the nearby bush while shouting for help. However, the gunmen threatened to kill them if they didn’t come out. The students complied and were taken away. As of now, we have no idea where they have been taken.”
