Some kidnappers came and seized some phones. They didn\u2019t kidnap anybody there. Immediately, the security CSO and other security, went\u00a0\u00a0there but before they reached there all of them (kidnappers) ran away, so they dispersed. \u201cIn about two to one hour, another kidnapping occurred in Gwandu area, another residential area close to the school area. That was where they took almost seven students. The school security called back some of the soldiers. The soldiers came but they couldn\u2019t locate them. So the students have been agitating and angry.\u00a0\u00a0It has been happening, so the students decided to exercise their rights. As I am talking to you right now, I think there are measures put in place by the school and soldiers have been deployed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On December 8, 2023, students from the Federal University Lafia took to the streets in protest of the prevailing insecurity issues around their campus and the abduction of several students that occurred the previous Wednesday.
