BREAKING!!! Bandits Kidnap Abia University Students, Ikpeazu Reacts

By Wisdom Nwedene, Umuahia

Suspected bandits have kidnapped yet to be determined number of students of the Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU), Igbere TV reports.

IGBERE TV gathered that the students ran into the bandits who were operating along the Okigwe-Uturu Road, Imo State around 7pm - 8pm.

Reacting over the ugly incident, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State condemned the heinous act and vowed to bring the perpetrators of the dastardly act to book.

In a statement made available to IGBERE TV by the Commissioner for information, Chief John Okiyi Kalu, Ikpeazu said his administration with the government of Imo State and relevant security agencies in both states to ensure the rescue of the abducted students and others.

The statement reads in parts,

"Preliminary information available to us indicates that the students were moving in a mini van from Okigwe to Uturu between 7pm - 8pm when they ran into the armed gang who marched them into the nearby forest along with other yet to be identified travelers. Two of the students managed to escape from the hoodlums while others are still being held at a yet to be identified location."

" We are working with the government of Imo State and relevant security agencies in both states to ensure the rescue of the abducted students and others. "

"Members of the public and ABSU community are advised to remain calm as we will spare no resource in ensuring the safety of the victims."

"No criminal operating within our environment will be allowed to escape justice as we take the job of protecting lives and property of Abians and visitors to the State very seriously."

Abeg jari, I Will Design a professional Logo or Letterhead for your Logo

Fulani people

Either herdsmen or cultists. Pls do your investigations.

Fulani people

make una keep deceiving each other!!

ESN terrorist are yet to start with the Easterners!! They're still warming up!

For now...we go just dey observe Una from distance...

And focus on development and security of northern Nigeria!!

Thank God our leaders are now more committed in developing the north than ever before!!

You people should continue defending and funding terrorist!!

When the north is being hit by a government sponsored terror... You all laugh and jubilate!!

You celebrate the death of Innocent northeners in our trying times...

You attack and kill northeners at any slightest provocation!

You demonize northeners and their religion!!

You sometimes defend and support terrorist...because your enemies the Muslim north are at the receiving end!!

Maybe this is karma!!

Screenshot this comment and keep...

If the East fail to stop ESN Now that it is still at an infant stage!! They will one day be seeking refuge in west and the north!

Keep this comment!!

Because the news isn't convenient to their sentiment... the attackers are now bandits known Gunmen not unknown Gunmen!

Since some students escaped, it won't be hard to know if these are the normal Fulani Herdsmen..

I went through that route in March and the experience wasn't good, especially from Nonya down.

That Isuikwuato is becoming a hot-bed and something should be done about it.

For sometime now, kidnapping has been the norm there. That's the home of the Generals ffs.

As I dey plan go there on Monday now, my leg dey shake ooo

May they be found alive and in one piece, Amen.

DSS trying it's best to give ESN a bad name...
Nice try from them but Biafra will overcome

Truth be told i think nnamdi kanu is turning southeast to another thing, this was how bokoharam started, if southeastern governors don't act quickly, this foolish man will turn the entire southeast upside down before they know it.

How come they could be marched into the forest when ESN is monitoring the forest for unwanted herdsmen as we are made to believe ?

when SE governors are fighting ESN left,right,center...how will they operate freely?
Very soon,ESN will take over from police and the duty to secure lives and properties in SE will be entrusted to them...very soon.
Biafrans trust ESN more than police but since it was set up by Nnamdi Kanu,greedy Igbo politicians have been fighting its existence but soon,what will be will be.

may God help this country

Meanwhile get a quick and affordable loan with no collateral requirements. Check my signature.

I thought ESN is in every forest.

IPOB Boys and Fulani herdsmen destabilizing the country, your days are numbered. . .

Hmmn

fulani herdsmen in action, thats road has been under fulani attacks and kindnapping for long now.

I hope we are not about to have the Igbo version of Bandits? Nigeria is weeping!

All former presidents( Gowon, Obasanjo, IBB, Abdulsalam and GEJ ) should please as a mater of urgency reach out to PMB and assist him. Something is not just right. Why can't PMB address the nation for God sake? Why is PMB always reading prepared speech? Why can't he talk extemporaneously from his heart?

An extemporaneous and passionate speech from Buhari will go a long way to douse tensions and increase the morale of our military. But some zombies and buffoons will come out and tell us that the president is not the talking type. What is going on...? We have a president who cannot address Nigeria when the whole country is burning. God help Nigeria!

Carry your tears to a region where residents are abandoning their lands to flee to Benin Republic or where Bokoharam are hoisting flags on the regular...
Your DSS is trying

God help us in this country?

If nnamdi kanu and his UGM group are not stoped in time, then i tell you it's just a matter of time before easterners start seeking refuge just the way some northerners and westerners are doing today.

Have you noticed that for every five (5) minutes you refresh the Nairaland Home Page there must be a very negative news hitting the FP....


I am not happy with all these negative news flying all about!

Get your passport ready. If you no fit japa go far, just go African country wey far small. The wise ones will understand.
