University students of the Federal University Gusau in Zamfara State were abducted by bandits on Friday morning.

The bandits also invaded the Sabon-Gida community of Bungudu Local Government Area.

It was gathered that three hotels were attacked and all the students inside were taken away by the bandits.

A source told Channels TV what transpired in the community around 3:00 a.m. when the bandits invaded the community

“They entered the town around 3 a.m. and started shooting indiscriminately. We have yet to confirm the number of students kidnapped because the bandits entered three hostels and kidnapped all the students there. It is difficult to ascertain their numbers now.

“They were seriously engaged with the army troops but the way these bandits operate, they will divide themselves into two, one group will move with the kidnapped victims while the other will stay behind to protect the first group.

“The first group had left with the students while the second group engaged the army in a gun duel,” the source said.
