Bandits Kill Another Two Greenfield University Students

Bandits have killed two more students abducted from the Greenfield University in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs in the State, Samuel Aruwan, confirmed the development on Monday.

He made it known that two more bodies of the abducted students were recovered by security agencies and have been evacuated to a mortuary, while the university was aware of the development.

The two new bodies found made the total number of students from the school, killed by bandits to five.

On Friday, three bodies of the students were found by security operatives at a community near the university located along the Kaduna-Abuja highway.

The students were abducted last week Tuesday by bandits from the private university in Chikun Local Government Area of the State.

The Commissioner said the remains of the three students were found in Kwanan Bature village, while Governor Nasir El-Rufai condemned the killing, describing it as sheer wickedness, inhumanity, and an outright desecration of human lives by vile entities.

He maintained that armed bandits represented the worst of humankind and must be fought at all costs for the wickedness they represented.

The government urged the residents in the state to come together against the forces of darkness challenging national security and the existence of the Nigerian State.

Before the government discovered the bodies of the two new bodies, the state government has sent a delegation to the families of the three students whose bodies were earlier discovered.

The delegation was led by the Commissioner of Education in Kaduna, Shehu Mohammed, who visited the parents of the students in the Jaji, Barnawa, and Sabon Tasha areas of Igabi and Chikun Local Government Areas.

While sympathizing with them, Mohammed hinted that the government has commenced the process of beefing up security around schools in the state and relocation of students from schools located in vulnerable areas to safer places.

He, however, reiterated the government’s position not to negotiate with bandits, even in the face of the present situation.
