A group of terrorists have stormed the residence of the Federal University Gusau lecturer in the Damba area of Gusau in the State capital and abducted him. This development was confirmed on Thursday morning a student of the university who spoke to journalists.

The kidnapped lecturer, Mr Bello Janbako also doubles as director of the Centre for Research of the Federal University Gusau in Zamfara State.

The student said: “Our lecturer was abducted yesterday from his residence in the Damba area of Gusau, the state capital.

“The Director was kidnapped. I heard about it this morning. We understand that the bandits attacked their area last night and took him away. He was not kidnapped inside the school.

Another resident, Nasamu Garba also said: “When the bandits arrived at the residence of Bello Janbako, they fired several gunshots to frighten the residents of the area.

“They later broke into the house and abducted him but were confronted by the security personnel who arrived in the area on a rescue mission.

“There was a serious fight between the bandits and the security personnel.”

“It is really unfortunate; this area which is part of Gusau town, the state capital is no more safe.

“The bandits have been attacking us and have abducted many people from this area despite its closeness to the Government House Gusau.

“If the people of Damba area are not safe, one can say that the whole state is now controlled by bandits,” he added.
