Police Rescue One As Gunmen Kidnap Three Federal University Of Lafia Students

Police rescued one student and are searching for the remaining two after armed men abducted three Federal University of Lafia students, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, the Nasarawa State Police Command announced the successful rescue of one of three Federal University of Lafia students abducted Tuesday night from an off-campus hostel in Lafia.
  • The abduction occurred at Living Seed Lodge, a residence located in a bushy area on the outskirts of Lafia, after unidentified gunmen forced their way inside the building.
  • Commissioner of Police Shetima Jauro Mohammed immediately ordered tactical teams and patrol operatives deployed after the university's Chief Security Officer reported the abduction at 9:20 p.m.
  • PPRO Ramhan Nansel confirmed intensified efforts to rescue the two remaining students, stating that "no effort will be spared in bringing the criminals to justice."
  • Nansel warned students against renting isolated accommodation, noting that kidnappers often exploit high-tension corridors and cattle routes to escape into the surrounding bush after abductions.
