Gunmen have abducted three students of the Federal University of Lafia (FULafia) from their off-campus residence in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
The victims, all 100-level students, were reportedly taken from Sure Leaders Lodge in the Bukan Kwato area of the state capital at about 8:45 p.m. on Saturday.
Although the Nasarawa State Police Command had not issued an official statement as of the time of filing this report, the Students’ Union Government (SUG) confirmed the abduction in a public safety notice released on Sunday.
According to the statement, signed by SUG President Jabir Ibrahim and Secretary-General Ibrahim Aliyu, the union has begun engaging the district head, relevant authorities, and the university management to strengthen security and facilitate efforts toward the students’ safe return.
The union also appealed to students to remain calm while security agencies and other stakeholders continue efforts to address the situation.
