The Federal University Gusau (FUG) has announced on its tweeter page that, the troops have rescued 16 abducted students and labourers who have been kidnapped by bandits.
In its tweeter page officially captioned ‘For Immediate Release’ today (Monday), the FUG said the troops have been able to rescue 13 students and 3 labourers who have been abducted during last Friday’s bandits attack.

In a subsequent reaction on an incessant attacks and abductions by bandits in the state, Governor Dauda Lawal has charged the Federal Government to investigate concern authorities assigned in that direction.
