Bandits abduct 10 Abia varsity students

Ten students of Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU) have reportedly been abducted by bandits along the Ihube-ABSU Road.

The abduction is coming weeks after three lecturers of the institution were kidnapped by gunmen along Uturu/Isuikwuato Road. A female student of the university was also abducted along the Okigwe-Uturu Road in May this year while travelling from Imo State

The latest abduction, according a Sun report, took place between 5pm and 6pm on Saturday, leaving the university community in confusion.

It was reported that an Abia line bus conveying passengers to the school, an SUV and a Hilux van belonging to a private firm was found empty at the scene of the incident, an indication that it could not be only the students that were abducted.

A security source said the total number of abducted persons is not yet known.
