About ten students of Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU) were on Saturday abducted by gunmen along the Ihube-ABSU Road.
The latest abduction comes barely three weeks after three three lecturers of the institution were kidnapped by gunmen along Uturu/Isuikwuato Road.
It was gathered that the incident occurred between 5 pm and 6 pm on Saturday, leaving the university community in disarray and in panic mode.
Sources said 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 is not yet known.
