The rescued victims comprised four male and three female undergraduate students of the university.
Seven abducted students of the Federal University of Lafia, Nasarawa State were rescued from the terrorists’ den by Nigerian security operatives on Sunday evening.
A source in the school confirmed this to SaharaReporters on Monday morning, revealing that the students had been handed over to the school management and admitted to the school clinic for proper treatment.
The rescued victims comprised four male and three female undergraduate students of the university.
The students appeared to be suffering from physical and mental fatigue as they arrived at the school clinic, as shown in a video captured by Campus Core.
SaharaReporters earlier reported how terrorists invaded a private hostel named Confidence Lodge in Gandu community and kidnapped some students last Wednesday.
The incident, coupled with previous several terrorist attacks on the students' community, led to a massive protest by aggrieved students who stormed the major roads leading to the university last Thursday.
In a video obtained by SaharaReporters, the students are seen displaying placards and chanting: “We no go gree ooo, we no go gree ooo.”
A source among the students who spoke exclusively to SaharaReporters confirmed that operatives of the Nigeria Police Force attacked the protesting students.
“The police that could not defend us against the terrorists were the ones stopping us from the protest. They attacked us during the protest,” one of the students said.
However, SaharaReporters is yet to ascertain if all the abducted students have been rescued.
There was no official information as to the number of abducted students up till the time of filing this report.
When SaharaReporters called the spokesperson for the state police command, Ramhan Nansel, he said was not aware of the kidnapping and could not say anything about the release, even though police personnel dispersed a students’ protest calling for the rescue of their abducted colleagues last week.
