Gunmen suspected to be bandits have abducted 10 undergraduate students of Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU) along the Ihube-ABSU Road.
The abduction comes weeks after three lecturers of the institution were kidnapped by gunmen along Uturu/Isuikwuato Road.
It was gathered that the kidnap, which reportedly happened between 5 pm and 6 pm on Saturday, has left the university community in disarray.
It was reported that an Abia line bus conveying passengers to the school, an SUV and a Hilux van belonging to a private firm was found empty at the scene of the incident, an indication that it could not be only the students that were abducted.
A security source said the total number of abducted persons has yet to be known.
