Gunmen abduct 4 female university students in Benue

Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers on Tuesday abducted four female students of the Joseph Saawuaan Tarka Federal University, Makurdi, Benue State.

The staff member said the students were going for night study when they were kidnapped between their hostels and the reading point at the North Core area of the school campus.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Sewuese Anene, confirmed the incident, noting that investigation and rescue efforts have begun.

“Four female students were kidnapped at the university premises at about 8:30 pm, causing panic about students’ safety as the surrounding area shares boundaries with communities which have been affected by suspected herdsmen attacks.

“Some of the students here have been identified simply as Emmanuella Oraka, who was dressed in just a wrapper dress, Fola in yellow top, Susan in flower top and Ella in black top,” the police PRO said.
