Secretary, Jama’a Local Government Area Council, Mr. Salleh
Banda Kure has provided more details on the kidnap of three students of St.
Albert the Great Institute of Philosophy, a Catholic-run major seminary in
Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Earlier reports indicated that bandits attacked and
Kidnapped scores from St. Albert the Great Institute of Philosophy, a
Catholic-run major seminary in Jema’a LGA.
Kaduna police also confirmed the Kidnap of students but
declined comments on the number of students involved.
However, Mr. Salleh Banda who confirmed the Kidnap on
Tuesday said bandits, armed with dangerous weapons broke into the school chapel
around 8.45pm on Monday, and met seven students in the school chapel. In the
process, two escaped.
“The bandits gained entrance to the school chapel around
8.45pm on Monday night. All the students usually have their prayers at the
chapel around 7.00am every day. Bandits came around that time, thinking they
will kidnap as many students as they wanted. But before they came, they had
closed and many students had gone to their hostels,” he said.
” As they forced the seven students to go along with them,
the police guarding the school heard the conversation and started shooting
sporadically.
” In the process, two students escaped, while the Bandits
forced the remaining five students to follow them,” he said.
He said while on their way, the local vigilantes who heard
the sound of the gun also pursued the bandits with their Dane gun. But two more
students escaped, leaving the bandits to escape with three students of the
school.
Also, confirming the kidnap of three students of the school,
a security guard at the school, Mr. Lika Barde said the principal of the school
made the role call early in the morning on Tuesday, and discovered that only
three students were missing.
According to him, when the students in the hostel heard of
gunshots, many of them ran, and in the process, sustained minor injuries.
He said the injured victims were treated and discharged in a
nearby hospital.
