Dozens of female students have been reportedly abducted from the Federal College Of Forestry Mechanisation, Kaduna state.
The attack was said to have happened around 3am Friday at the college located few metres away from the Nigerian Defence Academy in the Mando area, near Kaduna metropolis.
The spokesman of the Kaduna State Police Command, Mohammed Jalige has confirmed the attack to newsmen.
According to a BBC report, half of the female students were taken but no male student was carted away from the tertiary institution, a witness reportedly said.
The Kaduna State Government had on Wednesday said bandits killed no fewer than 937 persons and kidnapped 1,972 residents in the state in 2020 alone.
