Some of the students however noticed strange movements and quickly alerted security agencies who responded swiftly, forcing the attackers to flee with two of their colleagues.

It was learnt one of the abducted students later escaped during a gun duel between 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.
