According to the police, the students were kidnapped on the night of Tuesday, July 7, 2026, from Living Seed Lodge, an off-campus student residence located in a bushy area on the outskirts of Lafia.
Police spokesperson, Superintendent Rahman Nansel, said the incident was reported by the university's Chief Security Officer, prompting the Commissioner of Police, Shetima Jauro Mohammed, to immediately deploy tactical teams, patrol officers, and other security personnel to the area.
