Bandits have kidnapped 5 students of the College of Health Technology in Tsafe town, Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
The armed bandits in their numbers invaded the town on motorbikes on Tuesday night and started shooting sporadically into the air to scare away residents.
They then proceeded to kidnap the students from their hostels outside the school campus and whisked them away to an unknown destination.
Reports say that the dreaded gunmen could not gain entrance to the school due to the heavy presence of security personnel.
A resident of the area told Channels Television that one of the students escaped from the terrorists.
Reacting to the development, the spokesperson of the state Police Command, Muhammed Shehu, said troops have been deployed to trail the bandits and rescue the victims unhurt.
The latest invasion comes barely 24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari directed the military not to spare or have mercy on terrorists.
The President gave the order following the latest bloody terrorist attacks on communities in Plateau State.
The bandit terrorists invaded Kukawa, Gyanbahu, Dungur and Kanam villages at about 11:00 am on Sunday morning killing over 100 people and injuring many.
The invaders also set over 100 houses ablaze and destroyed the telecom mast to make it difficult for the people to call for help.
In a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, Buhari described the latest killings in Plateau State as heinous, saying that the perpetrators should not be allowed to escape justice.
He ordered law enforcement agencies to work strenuously with the government of the state, to bring the situation under control and take steps to bring the culprits to justice quickly.
Buhari also expressed condolences over the terrorist incident, saying that as a matter of priority, peace must return at all costs to the state and the entire country.
