A university insider who wished to remain unnamed confirmed the incident but objected to provide more details.
The neighborhood where the event took place, according to a student, was filled with fear and helplessness as the intruders lingered for around 30 minutes before snatching the victims away in the vehicle they came in with.
The names, departments and years of study of the victims could not be ascertained at the time of this report.
The State Police spokesman, DSP Alfred Alabo, also confirmed the incident, and added, “We are still working to rescue the students unhurt.”
