Gunmen Reportedly Abduct Students in Attack on Nasarawa Varsity

In the early hours of Thursday, unknown gunmen allegedly abducted 10 students from the Federal University of Lafia. The incident took place in the Gandu community, approximately two kilometers from the university.
According to an anonymous resident, the gunmen invaded the students’ community opposite the permanent site of the university around 2 am, firing shots into the air. This prompted the students to flee for safety. The resident emotionally described the criminal operation, which lasted about two hours.
Confirming the incident, Abubakar Ibrahim, the Public Relations Officer of the institution, stated that it was too early to determine the exact number of abducted students as those affected reside off-campus.
In response to the incident, other students staged a peaceful protest, demanding an end to the frequent kidnappings of their colleagues. The Federal University of Lafia has experienced several abductions in recent times, despite efforts by the state government and security agencies to prevent further attacks.
When contacted, DSP Ramhan Nansel, the Police Public Relations Officer, mentioned that details of the kidnapping were still sketchy. The command is struggling to authenticate the identity of the victims and gather more information on the incident.”

Opposition no longer safe with recruitment of Osun PDP members into Amotekun – APM

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Osun State has raised concerns over the alleged recruitment of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the state’s Amotekun Corps, claiming it threatens the safety of opposition members.
In a statement issued on Friday, APM Chairman, Mr. Adewale Adebayo, criticized the recruitment process, alleging that non-PDP applicants were deliberately screened out. He warned that Amotekun, originally created to enhance security, was being turned into a political tool.
“We are disturbed by the protest by well-meaning Osun residents who applied but were deliberately excluded because they are not PDP members,” Adebayo stated.
He further alleged that over 1,000 PDP members had been recruited into the corps, describing it as an attempt to silence opposition voices. According to him, the recruitment exercise was merely a formality to cover up a pre-arranged selection process favoring ruling party members.
APM has called for the resignation of the Corps Commandant and Field Commandant of Amotekun, demanding an apology to the affected applicants and the people of the state. The party insisted that the security outfit must remain apolitical to maintain public trust.
Neither the Osun State Government nor the leadership of Amotekun has responded to the allegations as of the time of this report.
