Two persons were also kidnapped in the attack that occurred
opposite the main gate of the university’s campus on Wednesday night.
When contacted, Wasiu Abiodun, police public relations

“On 10/11/2021 at about 2330hrs, some suspected hoodlums
attacked a shop at Gidan-Kwano opposite FUT Gate and abducted two children of
the shop owner,” he said.
“Police/vigilante were immediately drafted to the scene for
aggressive manhunt of the hoodlums and during stop and search, one of the
suspects was intercepted and arrested at Barkuta village.”
Abiodun said that investigation is ongoing to

The north-central state has seen a surge in the activities
of gunmen in recent weeks.
