The police in Plateau State on Wednesday foiled an attempt to kidnap
female students of the Plateau State University (PLASU), Bokkos. The spokesman
of the institution, John Agams, confirmed the incident, adding that one student
was injured during the rescue operation. In a statement by the spokesperson of
the state command, DSP Alabo Alfred, said the success to foil the kidnapping
was made possible as a result of a distress call put across by “the vice
chancellor of the university and other good citizens who made several calls to
our control rooms, the PPRO and other senior officers to alert us on the
happenings around that area which aided our quick response to the scene.” He
explained that, “That on 09th May, 2023, at about 1915 hours, hoodlums
attempted to kidnap some female off - campus students who went to fetch firewood
in a nearby bush when they ran out of cooking gas. “Upon receipt of this
information, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Bokkos, aided by other
security operatives, gave a hot chase to the hoodlums as a result of which they
abandoned their evil plan which aided the escape and rescue of the students
unhurt. No life was lost and no student was raped as alleged on social media
and some news platforms. Investigation is on-going. So far, calm has been restored
to the area.”
