Seven Kidnapped Zamfara Students, Three Construction Workers Regain Freedom

Seven kidnapped students of the Federal University Gusau in Zamfara State and three construction workers in the institution have regained their freedom.

Naija News reported that bandits, last Friday, stormed Sabon Gida village in Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State and kidnapped a significant number of students of the University.

Also, the bandits, who arrived at the institution on motorcycles, broke into the building where the constitution workers were sleeping and whisked them away.

It was learned that the bandits, who were in large numbers, stormed the students’ off-campus residences in the village around 4:00 a.m. on Friday, where they attacked three students’ hostels.

According to reports, the students abducted were mostly females.

However, according to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, victims were rescued over the weekend by the Joint Task Force (JTF) of Operation Hadarin Daji of the Nigerian Army.

This means a total of 13 students have been rescued so far.

The names of the freed students are as follows:

In a statement on Sunday, President Bola Tinubu directed security agencies to rescue “the remaining female students” abducted by terrorists”.
