By Golok Nanmwa JOS—GUNMEN suspected to be kidnappers have abducted a 100-level female student of Plateau State University (PLASU), Bokkos, and shot another person during an attack on an off-campus student residential area in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.
A student, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the abduction to journalists in Jos on Sunday, saying the victim had gone out with another female student when she was seized.
“Yes, the student was taken away by the attackers last night, and we have not seen her since then. She lives off-campus, but I don’t know her personally,” the student said. He lamented the growing insecurity in the area and appealed to security agencies to ensure the safe rescue of the abducted student. A university staff member, who also spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to comment publicly, said the institution was aware of the incident.
