According to Sabon-Gida, three student hostels were raided, and the bandits kidnapped every student inside.
He said, “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.”
Another source claimed that after a heavy gunfight between the robbers and Nigerian Army soldiers, the bandits managed to escape with the captives they had abducted.
He said, “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.
