Greenfield University in Kaduna has come under attack as gunmen invaded the institution and made away with students.
The abductors on Tuesday night, April 20, 2021 invaded the private university situated along Kaduna–Abuja Highway in Chikun Local Government Area.
The three-year old institution is the first private higher institutions of learning to come under atack by bandits.
The latest incident is the first major attack that bandits will launch on communities around the Kaduna-Abuja Highway since 300 female soldiers were deployed to the general area in January this year.
The Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, confirmed the incident to Channels Television.
However, eyewitnesses, said the gunmen stormed the university last night and started shooting sporadically, before taking some of the students away.
The locals said that the university with about forty students population does not have enough security on the ground, despite being located in one of the epicentres of kidnapping, a situation which they believe made it easier for the bandits to gain easy access into the institution.
