Etim Effiong
Gunmen suspected to be herders have kidnapped two students of Calvary International Ministry popularly known as CAPRO in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The school, a few kilometres away from the Yakubu Gowon International Airport Haipang, was attacked on Wednesday night by the hoodlums.
An eyewitness told The Nation that the gunmen attempted to kidnap dozens of students who were asleep.
The eyewitness added that some of the students noticed strange movements and hurriedly informed security agencies, who responded immediately, forcing the assailants to flee with two of their colleagues.
It was gathered that one of the abducted students later escaped during a gun duel between the security personnel and the abductors.
CAPRO is an international interdenominational Mission Agency with over 700 missionaries from 26 countries operating in 35 countries in North and sub-Saharan Africa. The school management has yet to issue an official statement on the incident but Plateau Police spokesperson, ASP Gabriel Ubah, confirmed the abduction.
