“The University has reported the incident to the police and all relevant security agencies,” a statement signed by the university’s Director of Information, Protocol and Public Relations Unit (IPPR), Mrs. Rosemary Waku, said.
“The University has not heard anything from the students or their captors since the unfortunate incidence took place.”
