The Nigerian Army has successfully liberated six out of the 24 students confirmed abducted from the Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State.

The brazen attack unfolded when a sizable number of bandits descended upon three of the university’s hostels, employing forceful entry through windows to abduct 24 unsuspecting students.

In a valiant response, military personnel swiftly engaged the attackers in a fierce gun battle. Despite the bandits managing to escape with their captives, the military’s efforts yielded a glimmer of hope.

A highly-placed military source closely associated with Brigadier General Sani Ahmed, the Commander of 1 Brigade Nigerian Army, Gusau, disclosed to Channels TV that six of the abducted students have been successfully rescued.
