The Abia State Government has reacted over the abduction of an unknown number of students of the Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU) by yet to be identified gunmen.

The reaction was contained in a statement signed by the Abia State commissioner for Information John Okiyi Kalu, who revealed that two among the abducted students escaped from the hoodlums.

According to the statement, the abduction occurred along Okigwe-Uturu road. The students were said to be moving in a mini van from Okigwe to Uturu between 7pm - 8pm when the gunmen stopped their vehicle and kidnapped them.

Read the full statement...

"Abia State Government is currently monitoring an incident that happened in Okigwe, Imo State, yesterday which led to the suspected abduction of yet to be determined number of students of the Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU), who apparently ran into a yet to be identified gang of hoodlums operating along the Okigwe-Uturu Road.

"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.

The kidnappers should please focus on the Buari Media Cows called BMC & the online gangsters supporting the failed general.

This is not a healthy development in any way at all.

Cheiiiooo

The way this kidnapping dem go
E be like say na to just cancel My Abia trip

I still shake my head for people who still believe in this shithole called Zoogeria.


I can't believe nobody is bold enough to challenge this evil administration headed by a ghost. Tufiakwa!!!

Nigeria my country is now something else, I hope the hoodlums are not Chelsea fans who went mad yesterday night because of champions league finals? They shouldn't use the students to celebrate o

Asgard73:
Nigeria is on fire...

Buhari is sleeping..

Buhari is dead you this divide & rule MUdafVcka

So these one are known bah? Cause there isn't any unknown attached.

DSS should release those students and stop trying to blackmail ESN and St UGM

Again?!

That area has bn notorious for Fulani bandits for years now... Yet both state governments refused to be proactive....

Is not this the same topic that just got to front page... The other one says bandits this one say gunmen

I

Fulanisation on the move

This is too bad for my country.
The gov't needs to rise to the occasion and make useful financial and manpower commitments in security of lives and properties.
Gun no suppose be wetin all man go wan carry

It's high time each community start forming its vigilante.
There's no government at the federal level

This is a welcome development. They were applauding the unknown gunmen killing police and burning stations.

Let the SE burn. I have no sympathy at all.

We want more of this biko
