According to Channels television report, the provost of the college Habibu Mainasara confirmed this on Tuesday.

He said a total of 20 people were abducted, including 15 students, 4 staff, and a driver.

The gunmen had stormed the institution around 11 pm on Sunday and kidnapped the students and staff of the college.

During the attack, the gunmen killed two watchmen and a police officer.

Meanwhile, the Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, had promised to secure the release of the victims of the latest abduction by bandits in the state.

In a statement by his spokesman, Yusuf Gusau, on Monday, he condemned the attack on the College of Agriculture and Animal Science, Bakura.

“Governor Matawalle who is seriously saddened with the resurgence of school abduction in the state by recalcitrant bandits is, however, thankful to God for the prompt response of the security agencies to the school to reinforce the already stationed security at the school which also led to the successful rescue of three out of the four abducted staff of the institution,” the statement said.

“The governor directed the security operatives in the state to intensify efforts and rescue all the abductees, promising to do everything humanly possible to rescue them unhurt.”
