SaharaReporters had reported how some gunmen suspected to be terrorists kidnapped some students of the school.
The relatives of some kidnapped students of the Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State have accused the school management of abandoning their daughters and sisters in the terrorists’ custody.
SaharaReporters had reported how some gunmen suspected to be terrorists kidnapped some students of the school.
The gunmen invaded the students’ residence at Sabon-Gida identified as Nazeer Sabon-Gida and took away some female students of the school, whose number could not be ascertained.
A few hours later, the Nigerian Army announced that it had rescued six of the students after a gun battle with the terrorists.
Giving an update on the matter, the state police command spokesman Yezid Abubakar also confirmed that not all of the kidnapped students were rescued by the Army.
A source in the university students' union had also said the union had identified no fewer than 30 students who were abducted by terrorists during the invasion 11 days ago.
A brother to one of the kidnapped female students on Tuesday morning told SaharaReporters that the school had resumed normal activities while the management failed to make any drastic efforts to ensure the female students who were kidnapped by terrorists 11 days ago were rescued.
“The university has resumed its normal academic activities and nothing whatsoever (to rescue the kidnapped students) has been done. No word from anyone. They (the school management) did not reach out or anything,” the brother told SaharaReporters.
Another family source also revealed that the victims’ families and other concerned Nigerians held a protest on Sunday in Abuja, Kaduna and Niger to demand an immediate rescue of the kidnapped students.
