Three students of the Federal University of Lafia (FULafia) have reportedly been kidnapped from their off-campus lodge in Lafia, Nasarawa State, in the latest security incident involving students of the institution.
A student who asked not to be named for security reasons said the 100-level students were kidnapped at Sure Leaders Lodge in the Bukan Kwato area of Lafia at about 8:45 p.m. on Saturday.
As of the time of filing this report, the police had yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
However, the Students’ Union Government (SUG) of the university confirmed the development in a public safety notice issued on Sunday, saying it had begun engaging traditional authorities and the university management over the incident.
“The Students’ Union leadership has met with the District Head and relevant authorities and is collaborating with the University Management on security measures,” the statement signed by the SUG President, Jabir Ibrahim, and Secretary-General, Ibrahim Aliyu, said.
