KEBBI UNIVERSITY STUDENT KIDNAPPED BY GUNMEN RESCUED BY SECURITY FORCES
Federal University Birnin Kebbi (FUBK) 400-level student Augustine Madubiya was freed after being abducted by unidentified gunmen early Tuesday.
Abdulrahman Zagga, Director of Security, Cabinet Office, revealed this at Birnin Kebbi.
Zagga claims that the breakthrough came about as a result of orders from Governor Nasir Idris, who told all of the state’s security officers to work together and move quickly to save the student.
“I am happy to inform you that the FUBK student abducted yesterday has been successfully rescued through a combined operation by security operatives,” Zagga stated.
“The governor was firm in his directive that security agencies must swing into action and ensure the student was rescued alive and unharmed.”
Zagga also stated that although the student is in good health, a preventive medical examination is now being conducted by doctors.
He thanked the student’s parents, the local community, and the university administration for their prayers, understanding, and support during the hardship.
He also praised the heroic efforts of the security forces engaged in the successful rescue and complimented Governor Nasir Idris for using all government security resources to achieve the student’s release.
