Unknown assailants, suspected to be bandits plaguing parts of Zamfara State, abducted an undisclosed number of students from the Federal University of Gusau. The incident unfolded during the early hours of Friday when these criminals targeted the Sabon-Gida community within Bungudu Local Government Area.
FCTReporters gathered that the incident occurred on Friday morning when the assailants reportedly invaded the Sabon-Gida community, Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
The criminal elements reportedly attacked three female hostels, shooting sporadically before whisking the victims away to an unknown destination.
Efforts by FCTReporters to reach the State’s Police command proved abortive as the command’s spokesman, Muhammed Shehu was unable to pick up calls.
However, a resident of Sabon-Gida, identified as Nazeer Sabon-Gida, confirmed to Channels TV that the gunmen invaded the community around 3 am Friday.

They entered the town around 3 am and started shooting indiscriminately.
