Students of Osun State University (UNIOSUN) were last Tuesday subjected to horrendous moments usually associated with kidnapped victims.

The young undergraduates were allegedly attacked by another group of young Nigerians trained to defend the nation.

Specifically, the students, most of them females, were thrown into panic when newly recruited Army personnel, dressed in military uniform, reportedly stormed their hostels in the middle of the night and unleashed terror on them.

The victims, who reside in off-campus hostels around the Oke-Baale area where the university is located, said they were either relaxing or cooking when terror descended on them—not from bandits, armed robbers or cultists, but from newly trained military recruits awaiting deployment to different parts of the country for law enforcement or peacekeeping duties.
