The Katsina State Police Command has assured on release of the remaining four abducted female students of the Federal University Dutsin-ma (FUDMA).
The command’s spokesman, ASP Aliyu Abubakar-Sadiq, disclosed this in an interview with newsmen on Friday.
Recall that five female students of FUDMA were abducted by suspected bandits on Oct. 3, 2023, when the gunmen invaded their rented apartment around 2am, located behind Mariamoh Ajiri Memorial School, Dutsin-ma.
The police had at that time announced the arrest of a man suspected to be an informant to the terrorists.
Also, the police on November 22, confirmed that one out of the five abducted students had regained freedom after about 50 days in captivity.
The girl was released from the kidnapper’s den and taken to Kuncin Kalgo, Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara, from where she was brought back to Katsina.
Abubakar-Sadiq said the command is doing everything possible, using available resources to ensure their rescue.
“We are making an effort in collaboration with the school management, relevant stakeholders, and sister security agencies”, he said.
On Thursday, the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Armya’u Bichi, told newsmen that no ransom was paid to secure the release of the freed kidnapped student.
