“It is true that gunmen attempted to kidnap some of our students, but the attempt was repelled by our local security men.
“In the process, one student was injured, but no student was abducted.
”The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Benard Matur, is currently at the school premises and appealing to students to be peaceful,” he said.
