At least one off-campus student of the Federal University Birnin Kebbi (FUBK) and a cattle rearer were attacked by unknown gunmen at the Istijaba Hostel in Unguwar Jaji, located within Kalgo Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
According to the university’s Public Relations Officer, Jamilu Muhammad, the gunmen stormed the student hostel around 3:00 a.m. and abducted Augustine Madubiya, a student from the Department of Economics, who was staying off-campus.
Madubiya, along with other students, was fast asleep when the attackers struck, successfully abducting the student.
Muhammad further explained that during the attack, a Fulani cattle rearer, who was attending to his cows nearby, was shot multiple times by the assailants.
He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
The Kebbi State Police Command’s spokesperson, CSP Nafiu Abubakar, confirmed the incident and stated that the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Kalgo Local Government Area has launched a manhunt for the kidnappers.
Police are currently combing the forested areas in search of the abducted student.
