Suspected kidnappers abducted seven students of the University of Jos (UNIJOS) on Tuesday night, when the victims, who reside at a private hostel close to the former Nigerian School of Accountancy, along Bauchi Ring Road, Jos North local government Area, were studying for their ongoing second semester examination.
A student, who resides at the private hostel, told newsmen that the kidnappers sneaked into the hostel and held their victims hostage at gunpoint for close to thirty minutes before they were forcefully led out of the premises.
He said other residents of the hostel who were aware of the invasion could not come out until the kidnappers left the scene, adding that the incident has been reported to the police and the authority of the University of Jos.
Spokesperson of the Plateau State Police Command, DSP Alfred Alabo, who confirmed the incident, said men of the command are presently combing the bush to rescue the students.
