In a chilling turn of events, a 200, level student identified as Saviour, reportedly from the Reverend Father Moses Orshio Adasu University Makurdi, has allegedly been kidnapped. According to sources, though yet to be officially confirmed—the news has sent shockwaves through the school community, leaving students and staff alike gripped with fear and uncertainty.
What makes this incident even more troubling is the revelation that the kidnappers have allegedly reached out to the victim’s family, demanding a ransom of Five Million Naira for his release.
This disturbing development comes just months after the abduction of four female students from the Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi (JOSTUM). Those incidents sparked public outrage and heightened calls for increased security on campuses, yet here we are again, another name, another family in distress.
Is this the new trend in town? Kidnapping students of universities?
As the school community waits for updates and prays for Saviour’s safe return, many are left wondering just how safe our campuses really are, and what steps authorities are taking to prevent these horrors from becoming normal.
