Gunmen Invade Zamfara University, Kidnap Female Students

An unspecified number of students have been abducted following an invasion of armed men into the Zamfara Federal University of Gusau.

The armed men reportedly stormed the school, located in the Sabon-Gida community of the Bungudu Local Government Area of the state.

Eyewitness accounts said the assailants invaded the precinct in the early hours of Friday and forced their way into three hostels.
