The Plateau State University (PLASU) reported that on Tuesday night, security personnel thwarted a bandit attack on the campus.
The female dormitory at the Bokkos institution was invaded by gunmen between Tuesday night and Wednesday, according to the school’s administration, although no one was taken hostage.
The incidence was reported to the News Agency of Nigeria by the institution’s public relations officer, John Agams.
According to Mr. Agams, thieves tried to rob the university and kidnap students, but they were thwarted by the university’s local security personnel.
”It is true that gunmen attempted to kidnap some of our students, but the attempt was repelled by our local security men.
”In the process, one student was injured, but no student was abducted.
”The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Benard Matur, is currently at the school premises and appealing to students to be peaceful,” he said.
