The students who were abducted on Thursday, January 14, were reportedly released in the late hours of Saturday.

 

The Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Professor Shehu Abdul Rahman, who spoke through the Head, Information and Public Relations Unit, Mr. Abubakar Ibrahim, confirmed the victims’ release in a statement on Sunday.

 

While applauding Nasarawa State Government and the general public for their contributions, prayers and support to the University during the trying moment, he thanked Daily Trust Newspaper for its accurate, effective and prompt reportage of the institution activities.

 

“The Management of the Federal University of Lafia (FULafia) wishes to happily announce that the four students of the University who were kidnapped by unknown gunmen on Thursday, January 13, 2022, have been released by their abductors,” the statement reads.

 

“The vice-chancellor expresses the University’s special appreciation to the security agencies for their timely interventions that led to the quick and safe return of the students,” he said.
