“We are all not happy at all here. It is indeed a sad event.

“The department had some members of the dental association who visited the school but were lodged in a hotel in Zaria.

“We understand they travelled to Zaria where they had a brief meeting with them that Sunday. And on their way back to Makarfi, they were kidnapped.

Rahama said the kidnappers took the three lecturers in their cars and kept the director’s car at a junction close to Makarfi town.

Kidnapping for ransom and attacks on communities in Kaduna State have continued despite the heavy deployment of security operatives to the area.
