An unidentified number of students of Green Field University located along the Abuja-Kaduna highway have been abducted when armed men attacked the school, Daily Trust gathered.

Our correspondent gathered that the armed men, who attacked the school around 10.30 pm on Tuesday, shot a security guard.

The police Public Relations Officer, ASP Muhammad Jalige, who confirmed the incident, said they were yet to get the exact number of students that had been abducted.

He said a row call was being taken to ascertain the identity and number of the students abducted.

Jalige noted that the police and the military moved to the school immediately after they got wind of the attack, adding that unfortunately, some students had already been abducted.
